Have you tried to use PreparedStatements and using stmt.setEscapeProcessing(
false )? tim.

Using MySQL, mmJDBC Driver on Win2000 machine.

When saving "special" characters (eg. left and right apostrophes, left and right
quotes, copyright symbol etc.), in MySQL, it messes them up and returns a
question mark in place of these characters when retrieved from the database.
Have also tried using BLOB fields to no avail.

Any suggestions??

It might be a bit clumsy, but can't you save in Base64? You can get a GNU GPL Base64 class from http://www.gjt.org/javadoc/com/protomatter/util/Base64.html or other versions from many places, or just write one. Would that do it?
