When ever I insert 3 dots in my database like this "..." with out the quotes and insert the row into my php site a square appears instead of those 3 dots and in firefox the square also has fffd written in it. What can I do to avoid this.
It's an encoding issue. It sounds as though you might be pasting from a Word document. Word converts three dots to an ellipsis. I don't know which encoding Word uses, but if it doesn't match the encoding of your application and database, it will display incorrectly. You need to ensure that Word (or whatever you're using to create the text) doesn't convert three dots to an ellipsis, but preserves the original three dots.
