mysql数据库无法正确呈现德语字符

Question

更新： 事实证明，这与数据库服务器本身没有直接关系，而是客户端编码。如果客户端使用编码utf8，则会错误地呈现德语字符。但如果客户端使用编码cp850，则正确呈现德语字符。但我需要使用utf8，因为应用程序可能需要处理其他类别的字符。我该怎么办？

原件：

我有两个数据库服务器，从同一个mysql客户端查看，server1正确呈现德语字符，而server2则没有。以下是差异。但是我很困惑，因为server2更多地使用了utf8。可能是什么原因造成的？ server1的编码：

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "character\_set\_database";
+------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name          | Value  |
+------------------------+--------+
| character_set_database | latin1 |
+------------------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character\_set\_%';
+--------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name            | Value  |
+--------------------------+--------+
| character_set_client     | cp850  |
| character_set_connection | cp850  |
| character_set_database   | latin1 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results    | cp850  |
| character_set_server     | latin1 |
| character_set_system     | utf8   |
+--------------------------+--------+

server2的

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character\_set\_%';
+--------------------------+--------+
| Variable_name            | Value  |
+--------------------------+--------+
| character_set_client     | utf8   |
| character_set_connection | utf8   |
| character_set_database   | utf8   |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results    | utf8   |
| character_set_server     | utf8   |
| character_set_system     | utf8   |
+--------------------------+--------+

mysql>  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "character\_set\_database";
