How to fully set UTF-8 encoding on a website?

Question

MySQL

Good day. I'm trying to set the UTF-8 encoding on the site, but there are still hieroglyphs in the database.
I registered in the .htacces file
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
When connecting to the database, I make a request

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF-8'");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'UTF-8'");

meta tag:
<meta charset="utf-8" />
All files on the hosting are converted to UTF8 without BOM
In Phpmyadmin set the encoding to UTF8 general_ci

comparison is the same.

only here it is not clear where it is
latin1_swedish_ci
and how to change it?
In general, no matter how hard I try, this is still in the database:

I would be grateful for any help.

Answer 1

In phpmyadmin go to the "Operations" section and make sure the database, table, table fields are all utf-8 encoded.
If not, then specify utf-8.
Then enter/edit data.
Make sure that the data sources (where the data comes from) are passing strings in UTF-8.

Answer 2

And it was installed:

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF-8'");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'UTF-8'");
