I tried to reproduce the same DB on my local server as my web provider gave me access.
On this DB (from provider) i can see via phpAdmin pages that encoding is setup to UNICODE. after reading some documentation, i've seen that i had to create my DB on my local server like that :
create database mydatabase with encoding='UNICODE';
however, when i do this, my encoding is in UTF-8 via phpAdmin. UTF8 is a part of UNICODE, but as i'm not sure on how many bits is UNICODE, how can i setup my local DB to UNICODE value as my provider has ?
