Php + Mysql (UTF-8 ) some characters are still bug

Question

Well i got a php script that takes nicknames from a the Steam web-api and insert them into a mysql db. Many of them got rare russian and greek characters. I set php to utf-8

Answer 1

I changed the collation of the tables from SQLyog, but it seems that it's broken. When i changed them directly from a sql query it worked.
