Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set

[kaancho12]

hi,
i keep on gettin this error when i am trying to run a php program that accesses mysql.
Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index' file

This program was set under a cron job and worked fine till this afternoon about 2:00pm but then went berserk with this error---any idea what's going on??????
thanks

but to no avail
