i did nt get answer to my question

It's difficult to find an answer to this question, since it's not quite clear what you want, or what PHP and JavaScript have to do with it.

If your webpage is really showing the glyphs "", it most likely is a problem of character encoding. Try selecting different kind of encodings from the View menu in your browser, to see which one makes it look like a recognised letter. To fix a problem of character encodings, we need to know much more about how the webpage is generated.

Use this to populate you dropdown from database and use class name --------------
<select name="categoryid" class="table_text" id="categoryid">
<option value="">Select Company</option>
   <?php
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `company`") or die("Could not get data from the table".mysql_error());
   if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
   {
   while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
   {
   print("<option value='".$row['company_id']."' class='class_name'>".$row['name']."</option>\n");
