I am inserting the following characters into my DB: ?? / ??
This is the meta tag on the page that is inserting the characters:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
I have altered all the columns in my table that is holding the characters to be utf8_unicode_ci
The foreign characters show up like so in the DB: æ±‰å— / æ¼¢å—
When I use a sql statement to display those foreign characters on a page, they display correctly again as: ?? / ??
I am guessing I have some setting that is not correct in my DB, since it stores it correctly, but does not display it correctly.
What can i do to make the foreign language characters to display correctly in my DB?
