utf-8

I converted all mysql tables to utf-8_unicode and started using mysql_set_charset('utf8'); function.

But after this, some characters like S, Ö started looking like Ã– , Åž

How can i replace this kinda letters in mysql with UTF-8 format ?

shortly, can i find a list of all these kinda characters to replace ?

EDIT: He is explaining about this issue in this article actually but i cannot understand it properly acutally lol
