HowTo: Converting database to UTF8


Recommended Posts

  • 2 months later...

my database is in latin1 but i have some content in tickets and other tables already in utf8

and i converted like you said .

 

the result is that tickets data that was already in utf8 was converted to utf8 so it got corrupted and became unreadable .

 

how can we fix that ? is there a way of preserving the aleady utf8 data during the convertion ? or a way to fix the corrupted data after convertion ??

it is a charset thats all, it helps with the different languages. if you used iso-8859-1 rather than the standard in whmcs of utf-8 then any character that is not covered in the iso-8859-1 would not show properly in the web browser. this goes for any. If your database is utf-8 and you change the system to iso-8859-1 then some character wont display until you update them in the database.
