So, use utf8_decode() and utf8_encode() function in your code.

Here is an example code i have written for you. i hope it's helpful for you

db_schema

Code:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(100) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(100) character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
)

Controller test

Code:

function reg_user()
{
    $this->load->helper('form');
    if($_POST)
    {
        echo $_POST['username']."<br>";
        $this->load->model('test_model');
        $id = $this->test_model->insert_user($_POST);

        $user_data = $this->test_model->get_user($id);
        echo utf8_decode($user_data['name']);
    }
    $this->load->view('reg_user_view');
}

Model test_model

Code:

function insert_user()
{
    extract($_POST);
    $this->db->set('name', utf8_encode($username));
    $this->db->set('email', $email);
    $this->db->insert('users');
    return $this->db->insert_id();
}

view reg_user_view.php

Code:

<?php echo form_open('test/reg_user'); ?>
  username :&lt;input name="username" type="text" maxlength="255" size="60" value="" /&gt; <br />
  email :&lt;input name="email" type="text" maxlength="255" size="60" value="" /&gt; <br />
  &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
