this works for some utf8 words coming in.
strange, also, if i var_dump($converted_search) it says
----> string(4) ""
but it is completely empty for all other purposes.
by the way, is this the correct way to send an encoded value over the
internet for a href tag, as a get request?
the $converted_search is what is output from the iconv functions....
<center><h3>search from <a
href='http://nlpweb.kaist.ac.kr/Urimal/find_word.php?kt_word=\";<?php
echo
$converted_search;
?>\"&cs=ksc'>http://nlpweb.kaist.ac.kr/Urimal/</a></h3></center>
