I commented out the UTF-8 charset and added the ISO-8859-1 and that got rid of the odd characters.
That is right. You should strive to have your complete system in the same encoding: tables, database, connection, website, language files, templates, etc.

I've got some weird characters too. When access the website it displays ok, however, using phpMyAdmin to look at the database it displays unread characters
So, in fact, you are in the wrong thread: HELP! - Strange Characters in my phpMyAdmin
It seems your browser is set to an ISO character set (Probably by the metatag in the heading). Change it in the view menu of your browser. There must be a setting of phpMyAdmin to set also the metatag for it, but I don't know how or where.
