I’m making small module/plugin for my future CMS/Framework. I wanted it from begining to be with multi-language support.
- I set my new database to
utf8_unicode_ci(I read that it is more accurate, thenutf8_general_ci) - Set my files to UTF-8 without BOM
- Every page has in head
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8
When I register new user new record is added to user table. I tried to register user with russian nickname. When I inserted it to form it was fine. Added record to table. Signed in and showed greetings fine in russian too. But when I looked at the record in table the nickname was some gibberish characters. I tried all encodings in browser. Nothing helped.
UPD: I even tried to view data with SQLyog. Shows same as phpMyAdmin.

Could anyone explain to me, what might be the problem?
Here’s an earlier answer of mine about the same problem, try that: How to display a mysql table data in another language properly in php
