I assume this isn't actually the case yet. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Ray Ray 1, 6 6 silver badges 10 10 bronze badges. This may happen to fix the problem at hand, but it is much, much better to get all encodings in the process right in the first place. But you say that's wrong, I didn't know that, how would you deal with this? In a modern web site setup where the database, the database connection, and the output page encoding are UTF-8, it will not be necessary to do those conversions any more.
That is the recommended way when building PHP projects from scratch. This is the same character set I used in the last import file, which caused more character corruptions. UTF-8 was specified as the charset of the import file during the import process.
So, perhaps my database needs to be converted or deleted and recreated to UTF Could this pose a problem if the MySQL server is latin1? I don't think it can, as UTF8 is a superset of latin1. My web hosting support has not replied in 48 hours. Might be too hard for them.
Check my other answer on a similar question too. This is surely an encoding problem. You have a different encoding in your database and in your website and this fact is the cause of the problem. Also if you ran that command you have to change the records that are already in your tables to convert those character in UTF Update : Based on your last comment, the core of the problem is that you have a database and a data source the CSV file which use different encoding.
This appears to be a UTF-8 encoding issue that may have been caused by a double-UTF8-encoding of the database file contents. This situation could happen due to factors such as the character set that was or was not selected for instance when a database backup file was created and the file format and encoding database file was saved with.
I have seen these strange UTF-8 characters in the following scenario the description may not be entirely accurate as I no longer have access to the database in question :. So, the issue is that "false" UTF8-encoded twice utf-8 needs to be converted back into "correct" utf-8 only UTF8-encoded once. Another fine and possible solution fails silently too in this scenario.
The first is to make a backup with correct encoding the encoding needs to match the actual database and table encoding. You can verify the encoding by simply opening the resulting SQL file in a text editor. This can be done manually in a text editor. To assist in this process, you can manually pick incorrect characters from Try UTF-8 Encoding Debugging Chart it may be a matter of replacing errors.
I encountered today quite a similar problem : mysqldump dumped my utf-8 base encoding utf-8 diacritic characters as two latin1 characters, although the file itself is regular utf8. These two characters correspond to the utf8 two bytes encoding of the letter but it should be interpreted as a single character.
To solve the problem and correctly import the database on another server, I had to convert the file using the ftfy stands for "Fixes Text For You. The library does exactly what I expect : transform bad encoded utf-8 to correctly encoded utf That will allow you to add and retrieve data properly in whatever the language. The error usually gets introduced while creation of CSV. I wasted a lot of time trying this on Mac OS.
Linux is the key. I've tested on Ubuntu. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow.

Anyway I see other persons have the same problem: prestashop.
See Update3 above — Steve. You don't need to reset all the database to make a try. Just get a "dirty" line from your CSV, do a convertion from utf-8 to latin1 and insert the line into the database. If the newline is right, the problem has been solved. Show 1 more comment.
