Error when posting special symbols

Just noticed this when trying to use the Ohm symbol in a post...

Got this error right after hitting "submit":

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Incorrect string value: '\xCE\xA9 at ...' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
"Preview" works fine, however. I'm guessing it probably applies to other unicode symbols, as well.

Yep - just tried it myself... doesn't like it. Not sure if there is a remedy or not. I'll check.
