It does work indeed!!! All the encodings (on the php, database, table and collations level) are correct (utf8) but the result in the phpmyadmin (phpMyAdmin - 2.11.4) are not displayed correctly. When ‘utf-8? => ‘latin1? it fixed the display problem (Note: the web page encoding still correctly is utf-8 - Strange). Does anyone knows why is this happening ? Should we report it as a bug ? Thanx all WoW! It does work indeed!!!

I guess this works as a quick fix, it does not mean the database is configured properly. It has to do with the internal storage of the characters.

I have a different problem -- those utf8 chars don't show up correctly in php applications. if the purpose is just for phpmyadmin to display chinese utf8 chars correctly, you can set charset to utf8 either at db, table, or column level, such as
