Estonian letters in Mysql database - what encoding?

Question

MySQL

Hello.
When saving the text to the database, the Estonian letters ü õ ö ä are written as codes

. Please tell me where what encoding should be written in order for the letters to be saved correctly?

Answer 1

utf8_estonian_ci didn't suit you?

Answer 2

More like escaping characters for HTML (URL-encoding) than a problem with DBMS encodings.
ä stored as ävalue is encoded in database
PS
By the way, it's funny that Toaster handles HTML notation, it doesn't even escape it.

Answer 3

utf8_general_ci in general utf-8 should be everywhere
