I am currently working on an intranet system that uses ColdFusion and mySQL,
the system is quite dated, whilst I've been adding and updating features I've
come across a strange problem.

Simply put, when I insert a ? (GBP) sign into the database (processed with
ColdFusion), and then output it using CF, it displays a small square box '?'
(as if the font doesn't have that character, Verdana, 10px). I have checked the
value in the database using phpMyAdmin, and it displays the GBP sign correctly.

The page is using XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype and 'iso-8859-1' charset.

Adding values into the database is done with a simple form, with no processing
done from CF apart from a mySQL query to insert the data. Outputting the values
is also simple, just grabbing the data from the query and printing it.

I have come across this

Q_20983733.html using Google, however I have tried it twice without success.

We are running ColdFusion 7 with Windows Server 2003.
