MySql character encoding problem - currency sign (¤)





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have an issue displaying the typographic currency sign (¤) in a console application.
The Console is showing ()(pasted, which does not show up here) - a boxed question mark: enter image description here

The database character set is utf8 with collation utf8_general_ci.

The table and fields are set to the same.
The connection string has CharSet=utf8;



In Navicat, changing the encoding or collation has no effect on the display - it is always a (¤).
I have been searching the web for a while with no avail, so any help would be much aprreciated.

    Right! - you saved me heaps of time thanks! Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 did the trick
