I am building a list of articles from scientific journals, and when the title contains a special character, such as the θ "theta" symbol, it gets converted to a question mark. I have tried inserting the character directly as well as using θ, but the direct character shows as a question, and the θ shows as is.

This is very frustrating because scientific papers use these symbols quite often.

I tried this as well and it works nice! Eventually you have to configure your browser to choose the right fonts?

Yes it does sound like a font/character set related issue. You will have to make sure that the entire data stream from database to web server to browser are all using UTF-8 character sets.
