Everything is in utf8, but text isn't recording correctly to db anyway - utf-8

I've created a database (with utf8 charset) and a table with the same charset, all the rows are utf8, in webpage I have meta tag for utf8... But anyway, when I type in my forms smth not in latin alphabet, it registers in db wth eg. фывфыÐ
Have I missed something?

Try use such code after connecting to DataBase, but befor you recieve/write data
$db->query('set character_set_client=utf8');
$db->query('set character_set_connection=utf8');
$db->query('set character_set_results=utf8');
$db->query('set character_set_server=utf8');

turkish char comes as numerical code after oracle select of nclob field

I have an NCLOB field in the database, which I use to save data created using the fck editor.
Certain Turkish characters are displayed as numerical codes after doing an Oracle select from this NCLOB field . For example: the Ç character becomes Ç.
How can I solve this without having to use text replacement?
Who will use the data that is retrieved from the database after the select? If it will be displayed using the FCK editor, there should be no problem.
Otherwise, you need to use a different encoding (I don't know about FCK editor so I don't know if this is possible).
Or, you need to use a different editor (other than FCK) that will read/write in the proper encoding.
Therefore, decide who will be using the data; that is, what software will they be using to display the data coming from the NCLOB field (for example, Microsoft Word, Notepad, or some other application).
Using that application, create a file that contains Turkish characters.
Write that file into a NCLOB field.
Retrieve the file back and try to display it using the same application.
Make sure the characters are the same and that Oracle has not transformed the Turkish characters.
If all works well, use that application to store data into NCLOB fields.

How do I convert these characters to their readable form

I have some columns in my oracle database table which is having some �� in them.
How do I decode it to it's original readable form.
I know it's is related to encoding but I need to find a solution for this.
In my php application I get those characters as plain '??'.
I am using sql developer to view records.
You have to convert them from UTF8 to your current encoding. Or vice versa.

{Magento} Controls & encodings

When I change the encoding in my browser(s), the controls in the cart change accordingly when I have extended chars.
However, it is not consistent and looks very amateurish. See the attached comparison image.
How do I fix this in Magento 1.4.0.1? Or, is it a browser issue, and if so, how do I fix it?
How did you create your MySQL server? When you didn't set correct collation while creating a database, you can always face of troubles. Try following :
mysql > CREATE DATABASE sample DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE UTF8_UNICODE_CI;
UT8_UNICODE_CI has many character sets.

SQLite GUIDs not returned on Mac

I have a SQLite v3 database, using GUID's as row identifiers.
Something strange is happening when I query the table on a mac, it returns strange ASCII code in the ID Column where the GUID is supposed to be...
See image: http://i51.tinypic.com/2s0mtyx.png
I've read that it has something do to with BinaryGUID=false setting but not sure...
try
select hex(Id) from tbIF_PremiumRates
I suspect the tool you are using is treating a blob column as text
