i am designing a website by useing Mysql-database and PHP. the browsers show different chinese characters by selecting data fm Mysql-database. for example, the iterm -bank- in chinese characters (gb2312) was put into the database and the browser shows something like -hanke-. 
does the Apache have problem working out the chinese character (gb2312)? or
the PHP-Engine has problem with (gb2312). gb2312 code look like this:
automobil=��������ҵ,hotel=���� ����.
please help me!!!
Best wishes fm the harbourcity Hamburg.
