I'm reading my table database categories and when I have words with cedilla or accents, they appear in my project with strange characters.
For example, in the categories I have a Ratings title, in my project this title appears as: AVALIA��ES
.
I was searching about this problem and realized that I had to have my Collation as utf8_general_ci , and also that at the top of my page should contain this goal: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
However, even with these 2 methods to solve the problem, I still have my title as AVALIA��ES
.
Does anyone know what might be happening and how can I resolve this?
