I'm not a mysql developer, I'm just a simplified Chinese user, I encounter a similar problem: cannot insert Chinese to mysql table with MySQL for excel. After some digg. I fount my MySQL server use latin1 Character Set. After recreate mysql server with utf8 Character Set, everything works for me. Would you like run 'show variables like '%char%';' to show your current character set? this is my output: mysql> show variables like '%char%'; +--------------------------+----------------------------+ | 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 | | character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ | +--------------------------+----------------------------+

This is a duplicate of bug 70259 (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70259) Tested inserting Chinese characters using MySQL for Excel, the data was inserted correctly in Chinese (verified it reading it in MySQL Workbench) and read back to Excel through an Insert Data operation correctly. This does not seem to be a valid bug. The user can reopen the bug if he can provide a configuration to reproduce the problem consistently. The behavior the user reports may be caused by a misuse of misconfiguration, by misuse I mean attempting to append data with Chinese characters into a table configured with a character set (collation) that will not accept Chinese characters (e.g. latin1); by misconfiguration I mean attempting to insert Chinese characters into a table that has a correct character set (collation) like big5 or utf8, but the server's character set variables are set to use a character set non suitable for Chinese characters.
