I'm facing with UTF-8 encoding problem while persisting my model objects. In Turkish 'ı' is a letter. Also there're some other Turkish characters that is included in UTF-8 encoding. While I persist my model objects, all 'ı' characters are persisted as '?' to DB. I'm using MySQL 5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 64-bit OS. Also I've already set hibernate & c3p0 connection encoding property to UTF-8 too. When I debug, the data comes from client is true.
Here's my config and I'll be so happy if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
