mysql/java charset issue

Question

I have an issue while storing some special character values into db.

For e.g. if I am adding following values to any textbox,

Езикова abc

it is storing the values as

??????? abc

inside db. I have UTF-8 at every possible places.

Added parameter to the database url :

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databaseName?characterEncoding=UTF-8

and everything is working. :)
