I just finished writing my php script for express checkout for my HEBREW website (database encoding is latin_swedish_ci, browser encoding windows-1255, files encoding in ANSI with notepad++).
When I pass data (written in hebrew) from the database to paypal, instead of text I see question marks. When I used utf8_encode on the text it showed gibberish.
no utf8_encode:
with utf8_encode:
Any ideas?

The key is to set UTF-8 inside your account, by the quoted steps
- Login to your PayPal account
- Navigate to "My Account Overview -> Profile -> My Selling Tools" section. Within "More Selling Tools" click the "PayPal Button Language Encoding" link.
- Ensure that setting for "Your website’s language" is correct.
- Click the "More Options" button, select the "UTF-8" option for "Encoding" and leave the "Yes" option selected for "Do you want to use the same encoding for data sent from PayPal to you (e.g., IPN, downloadable logs, emails)?".
- Click "Save" to save your changes.
Optionally, you may add LocaleCode = he_IL in your setExpressCheckout API payload, to change the checkout page language to Hebrew as well
