Hi there,

Question: I have a database with names that may contain accented characters like � or �. My charset & collation are the defaults latin1 & latin1_swedish_ci.

In my browser all characters come out all right (both in phpMyAdmin and in my application), but when I open a command console (mysql.exe) all characters look messed up. Manually typing accented characters works, but they do not match the ones in the database.

E.g. The name C�line is in the database, I see C�line in the browser, but I see C8line in the console. Manually requesting the record of C�line (select * from individuals where name='c�line') fails. The funny thing is that the C8line record *is* found when I type the request without accents (select * from individuals where name='celine')?

Does anybody know how to make the console show and accept the accented characters?

Thanks
Carl
