MySQL

Character Sets

Current versions of TYPO3 use UTF-8 encoding. You should make sure that MySQL uses UTF-8 as well. This is done most easily by checking that the new, empty database uses the character set UTF-8. In a database with content, all tables and those columns, which have a character set, must use UTF-8.
