How can i insert Bengali/Bangla into mysql database?

[colap]

I have selected utf8-bin during creation of database.

What else should i have to do to insert Bangla?

 

In PHP script there is:

 

echo '<meta charset="utf-8" />';

 

 

I am trying with PHP and PDO. It is unreadable characters in mysql table.

You also have to change the encoding of the database connection to UTF-8. This is done with the charset attribute of the PDO DSN string:

$dSN = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb;charset=UTF8';
$databaseConnection = new PDO($dSN, ...);
