Can anybody tell me how to overcome this issue ?

Answer 1

You need to change the table collation to UTF8

alter table *table_name* CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

Answer 2

Consider if this is the query,

  $test = "...SQL Query...";
  $result = mysql_query($test);

Just add this alone in above of $test

 $result = mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");

Your final code should be,

 $result = mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
 $test = "...SQL Query...";
 $result = mysql_query($test);

Also, add this line at the top,

 header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
