I have a <textarea> element in my <form> which is supposed to save arabic text into a mysql database.
I have set the charset of my page as <meta charset='UTF-8'> I have also set the accept-charset = "UTF-8" in my <form> tag. And I have set the collation of the column in my database to utf8_unicode_ci
But whenever I submit the form, my database is saving the arabic text like so:بÙسْم٠اللّ
Instead of saving it like so: كيف حالكم
I am using php as my backend. Can anyone guide me as to where I am going wrong?
