dot (.) is being retrieved as © from MySQL database

Question

I have stored the path of the Image in the MYSQL table.Now when I try to retrieve the path, all the path is retrieved correctly except that dot(.) of .jpg is retrieved as ©jpg and thus there comes an exception that no such file exists.

string fileName =Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[rowIndex]["photo"]);    //File name with Exstension and Path
        FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fileName);
        BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();    //BitmapImage for showing in the image control
        img.BeginInit();
        img.UriSource = new Uri(fileName);
        img.EndInit();
        imgPic.Source = img;

Answer 1

I have found the problem. I had actually changed the collation of that particular column from ascii_general_ci to armscii8_general_ci
