I dont work in Mysql but i thin that your problem is from Mysql not your application. Let me ask if u have the problem in localhost or once u publish and post ur web.config please

i have followed all the steps for saving the page with encoding utf8,but still the problem exist, but i think the problem is from windows ,i have added arabic language to it ,and the browser dispaly the arabic sites correctly but with arabic windows encoding .
