1.以root登陆，在终端输入命令 sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf在打开的文件中
找到［client]在下面加入
default-character-set=utf8
找到 [mysqld_safe]在下面加入
default-character-set=utf8
找到[mysqld]在下面加入
default-character-set=utf8
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'
找到［mysql］在下面加入
default-character-set=utf8
2.重启mysql命令以便让你上面的修改生效
停用命令：sudo mysqladmin shutdown -u root -p
启用命令：sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
或者：sudo mysqld_safe -user=mysql &
3.查看现在mysql的编码
进入mysql命令：sudo mysql －u root -p
检查mysql字符集命令：show variables like 'character%';
