Hi. I am importing databases, but when the text is important it misses special scandinavian characters. How can I import the db a keep the characters ?
It sounds like a character set issue. Are you using MySQL 4.1+? Have the character sets for the database/tables set when creating the tables? I know for some Danish characters you cannot use utf8 as the character set in MySQL. If you use latin1 then the characters will store just fine.
Thanks miware. I just solved the problem. It was when I was importing. I had to import the db as latin1. It was set utf-8 as default.
