There may be several reasons for the issue of not being able to insert Chinese data.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The database character set does not support Chinese characters. You can resolve this issue by modifying the database character set to utf8 or utf8mb4.<\/li>\n
  2. The character set of the database table does not support Chinese characters. One solution is to modify the character set of the table. You can try changing the character set of the table to utf8 or utf8mb4.<\/li>\n
  3. The character set of the database connection does not support Chinese characters. You can set the character set to utf8 or utf8mb4 when establishing the database connection. For example, when using MySQLi connection, you can call the set_charset(“utf8”) or set_charset(“utf8mb4”) method to set the character set.<\/li>\n
  4. When inserting data, the character set was not properly configured. Before executing the insert statement, you can use the SET NAMES ‘utf8’ or SET NAMES ‘utf8mb4’ statements to set the character set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that the solutions mentioned above may vary depending on the specific situation. If the above methods still do not solve the problem, it is recommended to check the character set settings of the database and tables to ensure they support Chinese characters, and also verify that the data encoding in the insert statements is correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
