Say one can successfully see the UTF-8 in an SQL dump with $ mysqldump --default-character-set=latin1 my_database | less
OK, now how about browsing with phpmyadmin? no matter what I set, browser charset or various phpmyadmin choices, fields like 'ar_title varchar(255) latin1_bin' come out as mess.
I just want to browse them, not change or 'injure' them.
(That is the varchars, phpmyadmin won't let me browse the blobs.)
