when sql query has utf character in it, codeigniter doesn't execute query

Notepad++ is automatically detecting the filetype. And it appears, for your language it is doing it incorrectly. This is from notepad++ docs:

Notepad++ "guesses" the encoding mode of the loaded file by seeing if the unicode characters is present in the file. If not, then the ANSI mode will be set automatically.

This happens even if you set UTF-8 without BOM as the file type sometimes.

I would force all files to be saved in UTF-8 and bypass this automatic feature if it is possible.
