To view the character set in MySQL, you can use one of the following methods:

To use the command line client, first log in to the MySQL server and then execute the following command:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_%';

This will display all variables related to the character set and their current settings.

Open MySQL Workbench and connect to the MySQL server. Go to the top menu and select “Server”->”Server Setting”->”Character Set”. This will display the current character set setting.
To utilize phpMyAdmin, login and select the database you want to view the character set for. Then, go to the top menu and choose “Operations”->”Character Set”->”View/Change Character Set”. This will display the current character set setting for the database.

You can check the character set settings in MySQL using any method.
