The address in Cyrillic does not go through geocoding, where did you screw it up?

Question

Google

Hi all. Tonight I sat down at the Google Maps Api, I decided to at least find out a little what it is, how it looks and how it works, so I have 0 experience, and I’m not a programmer either. Those who closed the page after these words - I understand =).
What we are dealing with:
- Database (utf8_general_ci)
- Table with a small number of rows
- In the address table like "Ukraine, Kiev, Ivanova, 1"
- A simple page for displaying a map
- A file in js format connecting to the page, it contains all the code API and contains
Process:
Standard situation - the script pulls the address from the base, geocodes it, gets lat and lng, centers the map on them and places a marker on the page. (the code is slightly different from what is presented on Google in the example, I’m actually learning)
Problem:
If the address in the database is written in Cyrillic (“Ukraine, Kiev, Ivanova, 1”), nothing works. If in English (“Ukraine, Kyiv, Ivanova, 1”), everything is fine.
I google for an hour and a half, I try, it doesn’t work out ... I would be grateful for the help. If you need any more extensive information - write.

And if Cyrillic is passed through urlencode?

Answer 2

I didn’t use Google maps much, but the refusal to eat Cyrillic lies in the code page area.
I would dig in that direction, given the following phrase:
If language is not supplied, the geocoder will attempt to use the native language of the domain from which the request is sent wherever possible.

Answer 3

And another moment, from the phpsqlajax_genxml.php database, it definitely doesn’t take crocodile? Normally readable text comes from it?
