I received many tutorial requests from my readers that asked to me how to display and store foreign/regional language UTF-8 data into MySQL database using PHP code. This post explains you to solve Unicode data problems, just there steps you should follow take a quick look at this post.

UTF-8 using MySQL and PHP.

Live Demo

Database
Sample database articles table columns idtitle and description. Character set should be UTF-8 format.
CREATE TABLE `articles`
(
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`title` varchar(300) CHARACTER SET utf8 collate utf8_general_ci ,
`description` text CHARACTER SET utf8 collate utf8_general_ci,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

You can set this using PHPMyAdmin. Go to table structure and change collationlatin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci
MySQL Character set

Insert - Why prefix 'N'?
SQL insert statement. Here the N stands for National language character set. Which means that you are passing an NCHAR, NVARCHAR or NTEXT value Read more.

INSERT INTO
articles(title,description)
VALUES
(N'శ్రీనివాస్ తామాడా', N'新概念英语第');

HTML META TAG

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles") or die(mysql_error());
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{

echo $row['description']; // Description
}
?>
