Multilingual Database language representation problem

[kokoro]

Hello,

I am having an issue with Japanese fields that are in my database not being represented in my Xataface app. The database is setup with UTF-8

utf8_unicode_ci

to be exact. The Japanese characters are represented correctly when I view the database contents through PHPMyAdmin but when I view the contents of the table through my Xataface app I get double question marks ?? where the Japanese characters should be.

I tried adding the following to my conf.ini file after I found it in another forum post:

multilingual_content=1 (added at the beginning of the file)

also added

default_oe = UTF-8
default_ie = UTF-8

to enable unicode but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Jason

P.S. The strange thing is that if I edit a record and type in the Japanese characters and save the record, the Japanese is displayed correctly in Xataface but then it is not displayed correctly in PHPMyAdmin....?

Sorry, I figured out my error.

I had added the code to enable unicode support after the database lines in the conf.ini file. Moved them to the beginning (before the database lines) and everything works fine.

Sorry for the false alarm and premature request for help.
