Two things you need to do

  1. Set document type or header as

content="text/html;charset=utf-8"

  1. Save those user Chinese characters in database with field collation as utf8_general_ci

mb_convert_encoding

,but at the same time ,you should attention the native document charset must be utf-8 or gb2312

in your HTML header put this

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" ></meta>
