Some problems with Unicode encoding
illuusio opened this issue · comments
As I have read Unicode explanation multiple times and code works with old MySQL driver (which Unicode support is considered borked there I just enable utf8 support and everything works). With MariaDB example char 'ö' converts for chars: ö. This same issue can be achieved with Perl JSON-module when you enable UTF8 mode and they already are UTF8 so they are blindly converted second time.
Main problem is that when one haves string like with UTF-8 char 'ö' it still converts them to Unicode second time (ö).
Please provide code example which can be used to reproduce your issue. Thanks!
Sorry this was my bad. MariaDB driver actually works as expected (and promised) and there was several old mysql driver haxxx (Which I wasn't aware of). Still in 2019 (soon 2020) Unicode is problem. Sorry for noise and thank you for better working driver.
