My database charset is utf8. It contains chinese character.

How to use dbExpress driver to load utf8 character?
Is it support?

I used set names utf8 command. I display incorrect charcter.

I'm using Delphi 2005, MySQL 5.0.15.

MyDAC is display property

If you use dbExpress driver then you should manually convert values from UTF8 to (Wide)String before displaying. Or try to find thirdparty controls that support UTF8.
