UTF-8 all the way through

Closed 9 years ago.
I set all about encoding to utf8. but browser show me '???????'. My settings are below.
MySQL "show variables like 'c%'"
character_set_client | utf8
character_set_connection | utf8
character_set_database | utf8
.... (all utf8)
MySQL my.cnf
[client]
default-character-set = utf8
[mysqld]
init_connect="SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci"
init_connect="SET names utf8"
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8
In all my PHP file included:
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />
Apache2 httpd.conf
AddDefaultCharset Off (if utf-8, show me '???' ,too)
In MySQL console, (database is dumped)
SELECT name from campagin LIMIT 1
=> print in working order, not '????'
I don't know what is problem.
For reference, I test this case.. in test.php
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost','root',ROOT_PW);
mysql_select_db(TEST_DB_NAME);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO a SET msg='안녕하세요'"); // char is KOREAN, meaning 'Hi'
$res = mysql_query("SELECT msg FROM a LIMIT 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
echo $row['msg'];
?>
=> this print '안녕하세요' in working order not '????'
but in MySQL console
"SELECT msg FROM a LIMIT 1"
=> print not '안녕하세요' but abnormally '안녕하세요'
ADDED :
in mysql console
"SHOW CREATE TABLE a"
=> Table | Create Table
a | CREATE TABLE `a` ( 'msg' varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Using the base mysql_ connector you will need to declare
mysql_query( "SET NAMES utf8" );
mysql_query( "SET CHARACTER SET utf8" );
These tell MySQL that your communications with it are going to be via UTF8, otherwise it may not work.
Further more you need to make certain your tables and their columns are defined UTF-8, MySQL handles encoding at a column level. if you SHOW CREATE TABLE campagin what do you get for encoding on the table and columns? If a column doesn't spit out an encoding, it will default to the table level encoding.
