Very true. I'll look up how to specify the encoding when writing to
file. I don't know that it is possible when writing to the console though.

*But* I must point out that I am writing quite a bit of data, in
japanese, to file and the console and *all* of it come out correctly
*except* for that one character ...

I *will* check into how to specify the encoding but I don't think that
is the problem as everything but the one character comes out out right.
And as I had said, if I hard-code the string to be printed it comes out
right ... only when the string is retrieved from the database does it
come out wrong ...
