    The issue will be character encoding somewhere. What format is your database in, and what format is your HTML page in? These two threads might prove of use:

    Allan, Vivek,
    Thanks for the quick response. I've found the issue in the meantime. It was within my php scripts.
    Doing htmlentities function in php I had to add 3rd parameter utf-8. This way data gets stored correctly in database and then of course datatables has no issues at all...
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Patrick
