Thanks, that's a good way but when I print the output of mcrypt with
echo then it's definitively ISO-8859-1/latin1.
All the other chars on the webpage you can see but only these strings
are questionmarks. When you change your charset to ISO you can see them!
So I think it's ISO --> When it's binary why does it give out ISO with
echo?

mcrypt produces binary output which is neither iso-8859-1 nor utf-8
therefore you should tell your database that that data is binary stuff,
not text data.

Description:
------------
Today, I tried to use mcrypt with utf8.
The background was a mysql-connection running in utf8-mode and for this
reason all the transfered strings have to be encoded in utf8.
I set the default charset in the php.ini to utf-8 and php works fine
but then I tried to encrypt strings with mcrypt and all the strings
where given out in latin1 / ISO-8859-1 instead of utf-8.
I don't know why mcrypt delivers the strings in latin1 instead of utf-8
but I would be happy if this bug could be solved 'till next version.
For this time I'll use utf8_encode().
Reproduce code:
---------------
Irrelevant
Expected result:
----------------
utf-8 strings
Actual result:
--------------
latin1 strings
