SQLJocky: Incorrect encoding of received text

Question

I've implemented simple web server to have proxy to MySQL using 'sqljocky' package. And I have issue with character encoding, cyrillic glyphs displays incorrectly:

ÐавÑдов ÐиÑалий instead of Давыдов Витайлий

EDIT: Table collation is utf8_general_ci.

I've tried to query SET NAMES UTF8:

pool.query('set names utf8');

[UPDATED] Then I've created my.cnf in /etc/ directory with this content:

[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci

Output of show variables like "%char%";

mysql> show variables like "%char%";

Output of show variables like 'collation%'

But still having incorrect displayed characters.

How to get it displayed correctly?

Answer 1

There was a bug in sqljocky which meant that unicode characters weren't being encoded properly. I have fixed some of the places where the bug was occurring in v0.5.5 which I have just published. When I have more time I will make sure that it is fixed everywhere.
