My site is English, but I have a Japanese glossary of terms as well as the occasional Japanese characters in the forums. So, I want it to be a bi-lingual site, English and Japanese.
The other day, I had backed up my SQL terms and restored it to another site in the glossary. The characters came out garbled [ zenkoshu - å‰æˆ¸ä¸» ] it had no characters nor the unicode for those characters.
I went into phpMyAdmin and set the MySQL connection collation to: ujis_japanese_ci and it's not garbled anymore, after correcting it, and it's using the unicode for those characters [zenkoshu - 前戸主 ]
Will my back ups be okay by setting phpMyAdmin with the collation ujis_japanese_ci or do I need to add/change something in my PHPFusion files such as the charset [utf-8]?
Should my charset be changed to a Japanese charset [x-sjis] or keep it as it is? [there is another site using this charset x-sjis, and it's bi-lingual]
What is the TABLES charset?
Thanks
