在错误代码1366中将UTF-8 txt文件插入MySql结果

Question

I am trying to insert a delimited txt file into MySQL but it seems there is something wrong with the encoding. I get Error coe 1366:Incorrect string value in in MYSQL when I try and insert. When I open the txt file it looks like this on the line that caused the error.

Any idea how can I insert this data?

Answer 1

You need to escape special characters. Something like \\' for quote and so on

Answer 2

Somehow hex 9C got into the file. In latin1, that is œ .

Plan A:

Edit the file to remove it. The text around there is all in uppercase English, so I suspect it was not supposed to be œ .

Plan B:

Use the charset option to set the incoming stream to latin1 . Then deal with œ later (or not).
