special characters

I have a field with an upside down question mark  chr(191).  When we do a
select on it, the character shows up as a normal question mark chr(63).  I
found this out by doing

SELECT fld1  ascii(fld1) 

and it showed:

?   191

Since the upside down character is what is really in the database, how can I
show it when I do a query.

Thanks
Randy
