What's in the database:

I solved this by copying the whole excel data, and paste as value, then it will recognize the character.

I've just had the same problem as you and reached this question. Then I've solved it by changing the option in phpmyadmin from

Lines terminated with: auto

to

Lines terminated with: \n

I can't tell about open document format and phpmyadmin, but you can successfully import your data properly formatted as CSV with

LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/your/file.csv' INTO TABLE `table 1`
CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES

By properly formatted as CSV I mean

CL_in_Character,CL_in_Pinyin,Definition_in_Dictionary,Associated_nouns_in_Chinese,Associated_nouns_in_English,Associated_noun_categories
"巴掌","bāzhang","(a slap of the) palm","打","beat","human activities"
"巴掌","bāzhang","(a slap of the) palm","搧","spank","human activities"
"巴掌","bāzhang","(a slap of the) palm","揍","hit","human activities"
"把","bá","tools and objects with a handle","扫帚","broom","tools"
"把","bá","tools and objects with a handle","锁","lock","man-made"

Let's try it

mysql> CREATE TABLE `table 1` (
    ->  `CL_in_Character` varchar(10) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
    ->  `CL_in_Pinyin` varchar(14) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
    ->  `Definition_in_Dictionary` varchar(74) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
    ->  `Associated_nouns_in_Chinese` varchar(16) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
    ->  `Associated_nouns_in_English` varchar(38) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL,
    ->  `Associated_noun_categories` varchar(38) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT NULL
    ->  ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/utf.csv' INTO TABLE `table 1`
    -> CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
    -> FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
    -> LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
    -> IGNORE 1 LINES;
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 5  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select * from `table 1`;
