can anyone tell me what encoding is applied on the chinese character, so that chinese characters are converted into this code or text and stored in mysql database :
ä¸Â`国液化天然æ°â€Ã¨Â¿Â输（控股）有é™Âå…¬å¸控股`
original chinese characters which are displayed in web page :
中国液化天然气运输（控股）有限公司控股
on the web page there is a header function is used to make standard chinese chars as follow:
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
Thanks…
