[PHP-DB] Any hints lantin1 utf-8 | [PHP-DB] random 'card number' generator
Hi

If you're storing non-latin character in a latin-1 table you are bound
to get this problem.  phpMyAdmin is simply showing you what you put
there as far as it is concerned.

You should switch to using an alternative encoding for the character set. 
UTF-8 would likely be best for you.  Back up all the data before making
the change, or it WILL be corrupted.

If you primarily use non-latin character sets, I'd recommend making
UTF-8 the default database character set
