Method Steps of Setting utf 8 Encoding in mysql Database

Modify the/etc/my. cnf or/etc/mysql/my. cnf file

[client]
default-character-set = utf8
[mysqld]
default-storage-engine = INNODB
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci

Restart mysql and use the mysql client to check the encoding

show variables like '%char%';

Use UTF-8 encoding when creating a new database

create database 'test' default character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci;

Create tables and create fields using UTF-8 encoding

create table test (
 'id' int(10) unsigned not null auto_increment,
 'name' varchar(50) character set utf8 default '',
 primary key('id')
 ) default charset=utf8;
