It works well on Linux server but when I try to export the data and import into the same database but running on XP machine the utf8 is gone.Instead of a proper coding there are some strange characters. I used mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8 mimi >/home/Result.sql to export data to /home/Result.sql file on Linux machine. Then I downloaded the file to my XP and here I used mysql --default-character-set=utf8 mimi < Result.sql to import data. Is it correct? Any help would be appreciated L. ------- End of forwarded message -------
