I'm setting up my mysql installation (that still contains data). The problem is: I setted utf8 in several settings, but still doesn't work fine.
MySql is xampp-managed, and these are settings
+--------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | utf8 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | utf8 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | C:\xampp\mysql\share\charsets\ |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------+
I also edited my.ini:
## UTF 8 Settings
init-connect=\'SET NAMES utf8\'
collation_server=utf8_unicode_ci
character_set_server=utf8
#skip-character-set-client-handshake
#character_sets-dir="C:/xampp/mysql/share/charsets"
My problem is accented words matches. Actually, if I select a field, the accent is "?".
