UTF-8字符集问题[重复]

UTF-8 all the way through

I'm trying to insert special characters (like é etc.) in a MySQL database but when I insert through a query, in the database it appears as: "é". When I insert the query directly in Phpmyadmin, it works as it should. I have already set the collection charset to utf8_unicode_ci. I have this in my HTML:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

How can I fix this? (I already googled it, but I only found the collection things, that won't work..)

(jQuery because I'm sending it with a $.POST)

Answer 1

Is your database connection using utf8?

Try running this sql when you initialise your db connection:

SET NAMES 'utf8';

I suggest you read through this too.
