Why do I get ???? mesto krakozyabr?

Question

PHP

I wrote a simple script to display data from a table:

<?php
// Подключение к базе: где $hostname - сервер, $username - имя юзера БД,
   // $password - пароль юзера, $basename - имя базы с которой мы будем работать
   $hostname = 'localhost';
   $username = 'root';
   $passwordname = 'root';
   $basename = 'codebooks';
   
   $conn = new mysqli($hostname, $username, $passwordname, $basename) or die       ('Невозможно открыть базу');
   // Формируем запрос из таблицы с именем blog
   $sql = "SELECT * FROM `books`";
   $result = $conn->query($sql); 
   // В цикле перебираем все записи таблицы и выводим их
   while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
   {
       // Оператором echo выводим на экран поля таблицы name_blog и text_blog
       echo 'Название блога: '.$row['description'];
       echo 'Текст блога: '.$row['title'];
   }
   ?>

It is necessary for me that the text from the table was

deduced: but it is deduced:
??????? output??? I need at least krakozyabry :)
here is the structure of the table:

Answer 1

set names - the solution is wrong, which even deserves a separate page in the manual: php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.concepts.charset.php
The solution is correct:
$mysqli->set_charset('utf8');

Answer 2

so far the same

Answer 3

I always knew:
- if you see the "text", then everything is fine;
- if you see "krakozyabry", then you will have to spend time solving the problem;
- if you see "????????????", then the encoding came full f*ck :)
If in essence. Try playing with iconv and mb_detect_encoding .
