MySQL和奇怪字符的编码结果

Question

I have a problem with relationship between MySQL and importing data into particular table. Whenever the form is requested, all data that have unicode chars into it is translated to other strange characters (question mark).

What I have tried uptil now:

• Set MySQL db / table to use utf8_croatian_ci
• Set meta-data into HTML to use utf-8 encoding
• Query the SET NAMES 'utf8'
• Set all files to be encoded over UTF-8
• Query over mysqli_set_charset() (thanks for noticing HAL9k)
• Also added: header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
• Tried editing my.ini and php.ini to set default charset to UTF-8

Letter transformation into DB:

• č, ć is translated into ?, ? (HTML & DB)
• ž is translated into (HTML, in database it's the real character 'ž' - not translated)

My meta:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Code (Pseudo):

$con = mysqli_connect($host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name) or die("Error.");

// Spremanje rekorda preko UTF-8 karaktera
mysqli_query($con, "SET NAMES 'utf8'");  // ovo je bolji način :-)

$selekt = "UPDATE proizvodi SET ..
                            WHERE   slug='...'";

Don't hate me for procedural style. :-) Cheers and thank you. Suggestions please.

Please try this in your db/table structure

utf8_general_ci

if this not work please find your current character set the code is below

if (!mysqli_set_charset($link, "utf8")) {
        printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", mysqli_error($link));
    } else {
        printf("Current character set: %s\n", mysqli_character_set_name($link));
    }
