am working on SQL databases that will have content in different languages, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Chinese ... etc. I have some content already on the database in Spanish and I have already setup the collation settings to utf8_general_ci but for some reason it still print this symbol "�". I guess is a character that has not been encoded.
This is what I did for the HTML5 code. According to W3SCHOOLS the default character encoding in HTML-5 is UTF-8, so I tried with the charset and with out it.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="es">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<?php
// PRINT'S CONTENT FROM DB
?>
</body>
</html>
Below is my SQL database side.
ALTER TABLE `table` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Is there anything I am missing or anything I haven't done?
