spring data jpa utf-8 encoding not working

Question

I use spring-data-jpa and mysql database. My tables character set is utf-8. Also I added ?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=utf8

Answer 1

Try

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/gehive?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8

It seems issue is due to missing "-".
