edit text value pass wrong to the server in Hebrew langaue - php

Question

I am trying to pass a strret address from my application to my PHP server.
when i print the address in the Log.d i got:
העמק 57 גבעת אלה
but the server response is:
$place = $_POST["address"];
$output["addressEditText"] = $place;
and this is what i got from the server:
???? 57 ???? ???
i need that the server will support also hebrew alphabet.
just for notice this response is not from the DB i just copy and past the value of the parameter into the output response.
this is my page code:

Answer 1

after searching for a while i solved this issue by:
add this code in my server side:
if(!mysqli_set_charset($dblink, 'utf8')) {
echo 'the connection is not in utf8';
exit();
}
