MySQL: World Database Special Chars are Missing? -


i'm using mysql world database, seems special chars á, é missing, changed ? sign:

enter image description here

is fault? or database designed in way, because looked in world.sql file , found chars missing, or textmate wrong:

enter image description here

as can see in picture instead of győr gyˆr , others too.

some info:

i'm on mac os x 10.6, , have followed these instructions http://dev.mysql.com/doc/world-setup/en/world-setup.html . , downloaded myisam version of world database.

the world.sql file specifies tables "latin1" default charset. there no need explicitly define charset database or tables.

two things:

  1. what editor using view "world.sql"? tried view in notepad++ on windows7 , showed characters? perhaps editor isn't supporting latin charset.

  2. how did import "world.sql" mysql?

    i. if copied contents file , pasted directly mysql, either using default client or available gui clients, special characters did not import correctly because editor had copied lost them. please try importing directly mysql command line using mysql -uxxx -hxxx -p < world.sql

    ii. if did import command line, believe content imported fine special characters. perhaps client, black screen shot suppose, isn't supporting special characters.

so, please investigate of above 2 cases might happening. though i'm not sure if there might third case if both of above fail. hope helps.
