Setting Quercus database connection encoding to UTF-8

Question

Now we are going to use Java class in my website developed with PHP and MySQL. I came to know Quercus and it worked well. But only problem is encoding.

Quercus is providing ISO8859 encoding in default and all database in UTF-8 is not shown properly like ???.

Answer 1

By the tests I ran,

We can not use full UTF-8 on quercus.
For some reason the php.ini unicode.semantics is not kick in.

I read some blogs that state exactly the same thing.
