Any idea why ???? appears ?

I would suggest trying to set the PHP / DB charset like in one of the SO replies. My guess is that your PHP / DB connection is not UTF8 by default.

I was helped by the editing of the function of the class of SSP (function simple). I added one more line to set the hard encoding UTF-8.

Below line '$db = self::db( $conn );', I added 1 more line:
$db->exec("set names utf8");

It helped me.

That would do it if the connection isn't set to be UTF8 by default.

Thanks for posting back with your answer!
