1 修改mysql的配置文件
/etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf
在[mysql]的下方加入如下语句:(注：这个文件下没有配置，只有【mysql】)
no-auto-rehash
default-character-set=utf8
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
在[mysqld]下加入
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
character-set-server=utf8 （这里是server，之前有的版本是set）
2 重启mysql: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
3 查看字符集
mysql> show variables like
'%char%'
;
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
