I’m trying to set up my C application so it supports special characters such as ÄÖÜ. However, in the terminal and in my MySQL database they do not show up and are replaced with an ” ?”. I’m using UTF-8 for the entire db and also set the locale in my c application with
setlocale(LC_ALL, “de_DE.UTF-8”);
What can I do to make my application support these characters?
If I set them manually in phpmyadmin, all seems to work.
In your terminal, while in mysql, you can run this command:
Then everything should display properly in your terminal. You might need to do the same in your C application. That will set the encoding for the session.
