MySQL isn’t displaying right single quotation mark(’) after insertion of records

To display right single quotation marks, you need to alter the table with COLLATE='utf8_unicode_ci'.

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable2000
(
   Name varchar(20)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.81 sec)

Here is the query to use collate −

mysql> ALTER TABLE DemoTable2000 COLLATE='utf8_unicode_ci';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.90 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable2000 values('Chris’s Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable2000 values('David’s Miller');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.67 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable2000 values('Robert’s Downey');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable2000;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------------+
| Name              |
+-------------------+
| Chris’s Brown     |
| David’s Miller    |
| Robert’s Downey   |
+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
