@maesk: yep my configuration file is exactly

Code:

$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";

I actually wondered about the OP's config but the problem seems to be the same.

i get "Bon Appétit" using $_POST['username']. but when i have tried to insert it into database. it doesn't work for

Code:

$this->db->set('name',$username);

But when i use
[/code]
$this->db->set('name', utf8_encode($username));
[code]
it works fine.

Yeah, that's strange, doesn't happen in my install of CI.

Now, would you please rewrite my code correctly so that i can enter Bon Appétit in database.[/quote]

Nope. Sorry, but I don't have time for this right now. All I'm saying is that I do not experience any problems with Unicode in CI and I don't use utf8_encode(). I just tried it with scaffolding and entered "Bon Appétit" and other accented characters into the DB and it works perfectly and scaffolding doesn't use utf8_encode() as far as I can see.

If you want to use utf8_encode() and it works for you that's fine with me!
