Thanks very much for this advice. 
 
My http.conf states that my default character set is UTF-8. 
 
My php.ini has a default charset of utf-8 and a default mime-type of 
text/html 
 
I have executed the Set Names command before sending the query to 
MySQL. 
 
The output just gives me question marks. 
 
I've obviously missed something. Incidentally, for testing purposes I 
am copying and pasting chinese characters from an Excel File (and also 
from Chinese sites online). When I paste them into MySQL (using 
HeidiSQL) they appear as squares and then, when I move away from the 
field, become question marks.... 
 
Any thoughts?
