content: "MySQL does not install with utf-8 support by default either on Windows \
or OSX. \r\n\r\nTo see if you have utf-8 support enabled, start a mysql client \
and execute the following at the prompt\r\n\r\nmysql> show variables like 'character_set%'\r\
\n\r\nWith MySQL 5.0, you should get 8 variables, with the following values\r\n\
\r\n| character_set_client | utf8 \
\ | \r\n| character_set_connection | utf8 \
\ | \r\n| character_set_database | utf8 \
\ | \r\n| character_set_filesystem \
| binary | \r\n| character_set_results \
\ | utf8 | \r\n| character_set_server \
\ | utf8 | \r\n| character_set_system \
\ | utf8 |\r\n\r\n\
If the variables shown above are all set to utf-8, there is nothing more to be \
done. If not, here is how to enable utf-8 support on both platforms.\r\n\r\n* \
Windows\r\n** During the MySQL installation\r\n**** Once the windows installer \
finishes installing, it starts up a wizard to configure your MySQL instance.\r\
\n**** There is a configuration screen to select the default character set\r\n\
**** Choose the Manual Selected Default Character Set / Collation option\r\n**** \
Choose the dropdown value of utf8\r\n**** Continue with the rest of the configuration \
and finish. \r\n** If you already have MySQL installed \r\n**** Stop the MySQL \
service\r\n**** Close all active clients\r\n**** Navigate to your MySQL installation \
directory (C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.0 on my machine)\r\n**** Open \
the my.ini file in that directory in your favourite text editor\r\n**** Scroll \
down to the section named mysql (identified by \"[mysql]\" on a line, by itself)\r\
\n**** In the next line, enter this: default-character-set=utf8\r\n**** Scroll \
down to the section named mysqld (identified by \"[mysqld]\" on a line, by itself)\r\
\n**** In the next line, enter this: default-character-set=utf8\r\n**** Save and \
close the file\r\n**** Restart the MySQL service\r\n* OSX\r\n** Navigate to your \
installation directory (typically /usr/local/mysql)\r\n** There should be directory \
called \"support-files\" under here\r\n** Copy the my-large.cnf file from here \
into /etc and rename it to my.cnf. In my case, the following command works \r\n\
\ --- cp /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my-large.cnf /etc/my.cnf\r\n** Open /etc/my.cnf \
in your favourite text editor\r\n** Scroll down to the section named mysql (identified \
by \"[mysql]\" on a line, by itself)\r\n** In the next line, enter this: default-character-set=utf8\r\
\n** Scroll down to the section named mysqld (identified by \"[mysqld]\" on a \
line, by itself)\r\n** In the next line, enter this: default-character-set=utf8\r\
\n** Save and close the file\r\n** Restart the MySQL service\r\n\r\nNow if you \
start a mysql client and verify that the instance is configured properly."
