Storing & Displaying Chinese characters [at the same time]

Hi,

I'm a newbie in this issue.

I have a form on a web. The web is coded with UTF8 and it has different languages.

I've been able to write with Chinese characters with this form and display this characters afterwards from the database. So the problem is not displaying this characters in my website.

My problem, or what I would like to do is, that when I check the data directly with MySqlAdmin client, Chinese symbols aren't there. They are coded in hexadecimal (I guess). This field in my database is coded in UTF8. (I tried with utf8_general_ci and utf8_unicode_ci and other utf8 and the result is the same)

If I change in mysqladmin the collate character to gb2312 or gb2312_chinese_ci, and then I edit the field and I write chinese characters in it, I can modify the field and I can store it with the chinese charecters. But then, the website doesn't display correctly the chinese field.

I would like to be able to show the chinese characters in the website and store chinese characters in the database at the same time (is it possible??) because I want to export this database afterwards.

I'm using a MySql5.5 + PHP

Thank you so much for your help.
