Unicode For Russian
I just wanted to insert Russian data in my database but while I insert it it get inserted easily, since I believe the data is inserted in the default format i.e. UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) i believe this is the default format but when i select it from database i could not get what was desired what is the solution for this, I am using Php as server side language.I get? as a result of select and while i look it in phpadmin the result is the same, is this the browser problem...which is not supporting the font.

Storing Russian Text In Table
I am using MySQL 4.0.20a. A russian user enters text in a HTML-textfield and POSTs & inserts through a PHP-script (php v.5). In what encoding is it stored in mysql? To me, it doesn't look russian but like this: Âûïîëíèòü çàäàíèå Is this format OK to store in? If I want to use the text into another page (and select from mysql), do I have to store it in any encoding?

Unicode (UTF8)
i have a problem with my MySQL 4.1.1a database an the unicode (UTF-8) data. All send HTML document (charset=utf8) data, are stored in the following schema ("#2350;#2366;#2350;#2381;..."). MySQL and the required datafields are specified with utf8_general_ci. How can I check if the send Data are correct stored in the MySQL database. And how can I observe if MySQL gets and outputs the UTF8 data in the right way?
Unicode Signs
I'm working on the project that requires multi-lingual database ... I have never done it before and i have problem to configure mysql server and create databases which will allow me to store data in different languages, which includes e.g. hebrew or arabic ... I will be very gratefull if someone send me a dumped database with a table containing couple of records (or more) of data in unicode - at least i will have a starting point to find out what's wrong with my project.
Unicode Woes With 4.1.7
I have data getting inserted to mysql 4.1.7 innodb tables with unicode characters such as: I have tried setting the character set for the tables to utf-8, macroman and macce, and re-inserting the data, with no notable change. I don't know much about character encodings and multi-byte characters so any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to provide additional data/table info if it would help.
MySQL 4.1.x And Unicode (UTF8)
I have a problem with MySQL 4.1.x and UTF8. In version 4.0, i'm using html forms with utf8 charset for inserting unicode strings. but in version 4.1.x it is not working! if i change the charset of column, ALTER TABLE `icons` CHANGE `name_farsi` `name_farsi` VARCHAR( 99 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_persian_ci DEFAULT NULL and change default charset of database like below code:
Retrieving Unicode Data
I have an existing JSP web application which retrieved data from a SQLServer database and displayed it. The data contained Unicode chars. This worked fine. I changed databases/JDBC drivers over to MySQL. I've set the database to use utf8 and the tables as well. I've viewed the data in the table and it contains unicode just fine, however, the query returns data with all the unicode chars converted to question marks. I have searched for a solution to this for hours and no luck so far. I've tried passing in useUnicode=true and characterEncoding=UTF8 in the URL connection string and this has done nothing. Then I read that by default the driver has the useUnicode set to true. I tried setting it to false to see if it would do anything. Nothing. Code:
How To Enter Unicode Strings?
How does one enter Unicode strings into a 5.0.3 MySQL table? I tried things like: INSERT INTO tablename(colname) VALUES( _utf8'An') But this doesn't work. I guess I need an escape sequence, but the MySQL manual doesn't specify Unicode escape sequences, just for quotes, newlines and such.

Using 'N' Prefix For Unicode Strings
I have ported a .NET application which supports unicode from MS SQL Server to mysql. The .net framework itself is unicode throughout and I am using utf-8 innodb tables in mysql. When working with mssql it was necessary to prefix unicode strings with N e.g. N'a' when building the SQL to get them processed correctly. This behaviour mostly seems to work in mysql unless there are single quote characters in the string e.g. insert into foo values ('a''b') -- works fine insert into foo values (N'a''b') -- just inserts 'ab' From reading the mysql manual I don't see any mention of the N prefix but conversely the database engine doesn't seem to reject it. Am I OK working with unicode strings in mysql without this N prefix? Any idea why the prefix causes the quote processing to go wrong?
MYSQL And UNICODE (for Coldfusion)
I need to use a DB with UTF-8 encoding because of use off different languages... I think it is best setting up your Mysql completely for UTF-8 or not ? If you use UTF-8 do you always need to use VARBINARY and BLOB types in your table ? When i retrieve DATA from a table i get wrong characters for special characters, i know that is a charsetproblem but all my pages are for UTF-8, connection coldfusion is with UTF-8 (standard) and mysql database has only charset utf-8 and UTF-8 collations, where is the tricky part ???? Are there simple examples to find on setting up a DB, see the CF sourcecode on the net..
Getting Unicode Back From Database
I am converting data from widestring to utf8 strings to try to get it onto MySQL, using Delphi's UTF8Encode and UTF8Decode functions. But it's coming back as gibberish. I copied the word кодом from the russian page of the zeoslib site. Looking at the numeric values of the characters of that I got 043A, 043E, 0434, 043E, 043C, which corresponds with the Russian character chart on unicode.org. I converted that to utf8, which gave me: D0,BA,D0,BE,D0,B4,D0,BE,D0,BC, which is a simple conversion. That was then saved to the database. So far so good. But when I read that back, it came back as C3,3F,C2,BA,C3,3F,C2,BE,C3,3F,C2,B4,C3,3F,C2,BE,C3,3F,C2,BC, i.e. four groups of four bytes, where the last of each group correspond with the 2nd char of the utf8, but the other 3 are not useful. (3f = '?'). And when I pass that to UTF8Decode I get a blank widestring returned. So, I can't do much with it as is. Does anyone know what's going on? And more importantly, what is the right way to get unicode into and out of a database? I'm using MySQL 4.1.3b for Windows, with the latest zeos components.
Searching In Unicode Columns
I'm trying to do a search in a column which contains unicode strings. It works allright for english keywords but it doesn't work for unicode characters. I'm using: SELECT * FROM `Customers` WHERE city = 'تهران'; I would use N function if I was using MS SQL SERVER, It would be like this in MS SQL SERVER: SELECT * FROM `Customers` WHERE city = N'تهران'; How can I do that in MYSQL?

Unicode Encoding Script
I have been in trouble since last few days. I have developing an web application which interacts MySQL from a jsp page. My mySQL table contains a column to store bengali word. I can enter bengali word manually using bengali keyboard. And I can also retrieve bengali word in my jsp page and display it properly. But when I try to insert bengali word from my jsp page using ...executeUpdate("insert....."), it shows some characters like ???(+ some random character). My table supports UTF-8 also.
Unicode Exact Match
I am building a website partly in chinese. I want to perform searches using pinyin denotation (which for example represent the different chinese tones as "shī, shí, shǐ, shì, shi"). My database is all in UTF-8. I want to find a way where: SELECT * FROM table WHERE fieldname='shī' returns exact matches of 'shī'. What I now get instead is an interpretation where every form ("shī, shí, shǐ, shì, shi") is returned. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Chinese/Unicode From Php And Mysql
I searched the forum regarding this problem already and attempted to solve the problem, but fail regardlessly.I entered chinese characters directly into a table column A which has collation utf8_unicode_ci using phpmyadmin. The chinese/unicode characters actually appeared in phpmyadmin's "select * from tableT". However, when I create a php script with a query "select * from tableT", it appears in the form of question marks e.g. ????.Any idea how to resolve this? If I can view the chinese characters in phpmyadmin via the web browser, it shouldn't be a problem to display it in a php file, right? Not sure whether this is a php or a mysql problem.
Manipulating Unicode Characters
Apart from "sort by" the Hindi language (unicode) text does not behave when stored in MySQL database. For e.g. length( first_name ) || lower( first_name ) 15 || गीताई It is in fact 3 characters. Is there a way I can use the standard functions and get the correct results?
Unicode Character Display
i've converted by tables to unicode and I added a japanese word in japanese script (using phpMyadmin), it displays correctly on the page, although in the database it displays as: 広 ; 告 ;& #26989; (I added spaces before the ; in this posting so that it displays the code and not the japanese symbol) this is the way it should be? Or is it possible to read the japanese script in the database as well?
Unicode And Japanese Support
I am using cold fusion to make a small custom website using mysql to store the information a user inputs. I want it to be able to save japanese and unicode text, but whenever I enter any it comes back as garbage. Is there anything special I need to do to configure mysql to use unicode
Inserting Unicode In Table
I have created a table as follows - CREATE TABLE verb_table (verb VARCHAR(25), briathar VARCHAR(25), conjugation VARCHAR(5), past_tense VARCHAR(25), aimsir_chaite VARCHAR(25)) TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8; Now how do I insert unicode values into a database using the following format - insert INSERT INTO MyFirstTable ("To run","rith","1","ran","rith"); How do I escape a unicode value? For example, how do I insert a "long r" (u027c) in place of a normal r in the example above?
UCS2 - Unicode In MySQL Is A Myth
I have tried and failed to create, insert and retrieve UCS2 data into a MySQL 4.1 database. I believe 16 bit Unicode in MySQL is an untested and un-implemented MySQL feature. The MySQL Administrator (version 1.0.14) allows you to specify unicode attribute (checkbox) however, after a reload the unicode checked checkbox magically looses its check. Interesting and in my opinion deliberate.
Setting Up Mysql Tables For UNICODE
I am willing to setup my MySQL tables so they can hold international strings (English, French, German and Spanish). I understand that Unicode character coding is a good candidate to do so. Currently I use the default character set and it looks like it does not like characters such as "", "" .etc... (they come up as strange characters probably indicating that the code of the character has been truncated). Is my understanding correct? If yes, could anyone lead me through on how to create such tables coding text as Unicode? I went through the MySQL administration guide but cannot get a clear understanding on how this is supposed to be performed. Ideally I would like to setup the MySQL *server* for it to process the tables with the Unicode character set *by default * (rather than specifying each tables one by one as using Unicode encoding).
Enable Unicode In MySQL 4.1.0-alpha
I have read that Unicode (UTF-8) was not enabled by default in the mysql-4.1.0-alpha binaries. How can I enable it? What should I change in the code to do so?
Search With Unicode Characters In A Table.

Full-Text For InnoDB & Unicode
As far I remember full-text doesn't work with utf-8. Anybody knows the estimated time when it will be supported ?? I next few months 4.1 version will be ready to use (I hope so...) and I wish to use utf-8 charsets, but very important issue is full-text search. I'm also curious with InnoDB support for Full-Text search.
Inserting Unicode Data In Forms6i
i m using forms 6i with oracle 10g. i have set Nls_lang =American_America.UTF8.

Mysql 4.1.11 Unicode Problems With Some Characters
I've had a long battle with displaying unicode from mysql 4.1. I've had it working locally to test but many characters (some japanese and russian) dont display correctly. I've narrowed the problem down to the database itself. If i connect from my hosting provider to my home computer database, it works fine: http://www.spainexchange.com/test.php but when conecting from my hosting provider to the database on my hosting provider - you can see the character display has problems: http://www.spainexchange.com/test_remote.php We are using the same version of mysql, except they are on freebsd linux and i am on windows. Can anyone see where the problem may be?
MySql Problem With Unicode, MySql Connector/Net And C#
I have a problem regarding unicode characters and MySql. I am using MySql 4.1 and MySql Connector/NET together with C#. My question is whether I' am making a silly mistake (or not), by not being able to store unicode characters in a simple table. The database I have created is supposed to be in unicode: 'CREATE DATABASE test CHARACTER SET utf8'. Now, connecting from C#, i am trying to write into a simple table, with one column, the value 'u0120u0121u0125u0411' but when I am retrieving the value from the table, '????' is returned as a result. I don't know if its relevant, but i have checked that the server and connection are using unicode encoding: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_server' which returns 'utf8' as a result. also: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_connection' returns 'utf8' as a result.
