Answer 1

You have to create your database as a UTF-8 table otherwise no matter what you add it will never be able to store it...

second you need to encode it before you save it, I like to use unicode... one thing about this is that if you have a column that specifies 32 length, you will have to increase that for unicode as a single character takes up 6 characters,

example

letter h appears as U+0068
