I have a table named “cust_details” which has a column “categories“, where I have to store some categories like : blockadenlösung, affirmation, beziehungsprobleme lösen

But when I am trying to save this data into the database it is stored like :

blockadenlüsung, affirmation, beziehungsprobleme lösen

That is when umlauts are coming in the string it is not saved in its original form. I tried some charset for storing this characters. But I am still facing the problem…..

What may be the possible reasons…?

Thanks In Advance…..

    The data you stored is encoded in UTF-8 (ü for an “ö” is typical for UTF-8), but is not displayed as UTF-8 but rather as ISO-8859-1 or the like.

    Make sure that you use the same encoding everywhere:

    • Deliver your websites with Content-Encoding “utf-8”
    • Use mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8′”); to set the encoding to utf-8
    • Make sure that the encoding of the database is UTF-8 (use HeidiSQL etc. to check)
