I have set my MySQL database to utf8 and my table and column as well. What is this strange character doing in my database field?
¿que ha sido de mi
That first character, the upside down questionmark. The above text is saved in my database field. Why is this happening? It is happening only in Spanish, I haven’t seen it in other languages.
It’s a normal part of the Spanish language, so if it is indeed only happening for Spanish texts there’s nothing wrong with your database.
