Easy one… Just change the code of your file to Unicode UTF-8

Thanks for your fast reply,
but how ?
I already tried to change in phpMyAdmin the “collation” to “utf8_general_ci”. but didn’t work…
Where do i change the charset of the file ? index.php ?
Thanks a lot !

I had similar issue, installed Admin Tools (free), then there is option to Change Database Collation.

i just did it with Admin tools and it went fine, thanks a lot !
“This is what Admin Tools’ Change Database Collation feature excels at. With a single click it will change your database collation and all of your tables’ collations.” phpmyadmin didn’t change all the tables…
Thanks again !
