Not sure what to look up

I have a basic cms system I put together with an editor for content. Some characters seem to get garbled when uploading to the database and will end up being displayed as a box. I want to correct this but am at a loss as to where to start?

Can anyone help me start? Is this a ColdFusion issue or a database issue? Is there a common term that I can use on searches?

I've only seen this when pasting text from Word/Outlook/etc. into a text box and submitting it. You'd need to filter out the extended characters.

More Info?

I have seen this happen before but mainly with MS Access as the Database.

I have seen it once or twice with MSSQL. It normally represents a line break.

If you can show me more of what you got I am sure I can help ya with it. If it is a line break you are going to have to do some replacing with char(10) char(13)
