title: PHP MYSQL Insert Data in Arabic Language
body: <p>I am trying to insert some Arabic Language data into MySQL using PHP and an HTML form. When I insert the data in to MYSQL table, the table field represents data as <code>Ù…Ø±Ø­Ø¨Ø§ Ø§Ù„Ø¹Ø§Ù„Ù…</code>.</p>
  
  <p>But when I access the same data with PHP and show it in my webpage, it shows the correct data. I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>meta</code> tag in my web page to show Arabic data. My question is why my data looks like this: <code>Ù…Ø±Ø­Ø¨Ø§ Ø§Ù„Ø¹Ø§Ù„Ù…</code> in MySQL table, and how should I correct it.</p>
