Hi there,

Question: I have a database with names that may contain accented characters like é or è. 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 Céline is in the database, I see Céline in the browser, but I see C8line in the console. Manually requesting the record of Céline (select * from individuals where name='céline') 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
