PHP Mysql Json and Arabic

Question

I am inserting arabic data into mysql using php and html form. After inserting the data into the mysql table, the data looks like this: "... Ø ± Øبا ا" "عا" "..." However, when I select this data on my web page, it shows the perfect Arabic sentence . However, when I expose this data to the json_encode function and try to read this data from android, the android shows "... Ø ± Øبا ا" "عا" "... after parsing json. Is there any way to present this data in android is significant.

Update:

http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" 

I also use this meta tag on my display page. Without this meta tag, my browser also displays data similar to this ... Ø ± Øبا ا "عا" "Ù ...

thanks

How do you view it through MySQL? Putty? Make sure your terminal encoding is set to UTF-8, not ASCII.

EDIT: after I tried this, I had to set my Putty encoding to Win1256 so that the characters displayed correctly on the console.

Make sure you use the same character encoding on all platforms. Ideally use UTF-8.
