Namaskar, I am using Windows Xp SP2 and Mysql 5.0.45 and MyODBC 3.51.19 with Microsoft Marathi Indic IME 1 version 5. I am storing data in both languages i.e. Marathi and English. So I changed database character set to 'utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode' and collation to 'utf8_unicode_ci'. Also I changed the field properties charset to 'utf8' and collation to 'utf8_unicode_ci' for all varchar and text fields. I am using MS Access 2003 as a front-end. When I am entering data in Marathi I can read and write data in Access tables, but when I am entering data I can view data in Marathi but after storing it in MySQL tables, I can not read data and just see question marks for the characters I entered. This is not happening only when I am storing data using Access as a front-end, but also I tried it by using other mysqk GUI tools, but i get same wrong results. Can any one please help me. Please give the reasons behind it and the solution to it. Thanks for your sincere help.
