Can I change the default encoding of mysql server to my computer from Latin-1 to UTF-8?

Be sure you can use your MySQL GUI software or the following questions Can run:

  // multilingual support mysql_query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'") utf8 charset; Mysql_query ("set character settings utf8"); Mysql_query ("SET character_set_results = utf8"); Mb_language ("uni"); Mb_internal_encoding ("UTF-8");
