Solution 2

HI,
Try this query.This works

SQL

-- You can use Nvarchar
CREATE TABLE hindi (
    data NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
)


-- before your insert values use"N" as below 
    INSERT INTO hindi (data) VALUES
    (N'بريا')

    select * from hindi

Solution 4

mysqli_set_charset($this->connect,'utf8');
mysqli_query($this->connect, "SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysqli_query($this->connect, 'SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
plus, yor table must be (utf8_general_ci) in structure field
this is work correctly for me
