Hi.
I'm using your DB & it's great, I made everything possible to make the best environment for UTF-8 character set.
But I found that very small languages that are used in alternative names are being shown as ܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܝܐ .
How can I fix this?

How do you think it's broken? Are you getting boxes for the characters? If so, then your computer doesn't have a complete UTF-8 character set, as I'm seeing what appears to be proper letters from a language with an alphabet not derived from the Roman/Latin alphabet.

No, UTF-8 is supported, so all names are existed but only one language.

Al Iskandariyah,Al Iskandarīyah,Alegsandiri,Alegsàndiri,Alehandriya,Alejandria,Alejandría,Aleksandri,Aleksandria,Aleksandrija,Aleksandrio,Aleksandrje,Aleksandryjo,Alesandria d'Egito,Alessandria,Alessandria d'Eggittu,Alessandria d'Egitto,Alexandreia,Alexandria,Alexandria Magna,Alexandrie,Alexandrië,Alexandría,Alexàndria,Ałesandria d'Egito,Cathair Alastair,El Iskandariya,El Iskandarīya,Gorad Aleksandryja,Iskandariah,Iskandariya,Iskandariyah,Iskenderiye,Iskindiriya,Iskindirîya,Ol'oksandrija,alaksantriya,alaskndryt,alecanturiya,alegjandriya,alekajandriya,alekjendriya,alekjhandriya,aleksandria,aleksandriya,allegsandeulia,arekusandoria,askndryh,elekjhandriya,x lek san de riy,ya li shan da gang,ya li shan zhuo,İsgəndəriyyə,İskenderiye,Αλεξάνδρεια,Александри,Александрия,Александрија,Александрія,Горад Александрыя,Ӧльӧксандрия,Ալեքսանդրիա,אלכסנדריה,אלעקסאנדריע,ئەسکەندەرییە,اسكندريه,اسکندریه,اسکندریہ,الإسكندرية,ܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܝܐ,अलेक्जेंड्रिया,अलेक्झांड्रिया,আলেকজান্দ্রিয়া,আলেক্সান্ড্রিয়া,એલેક્ઝાન્ડ્રિયા,ஆலேசாந்துரியா,అలెగ్జాండ్రియా,ಅಲೆಕ್ಸಾಂಡ್ರಿಯ,അലക്സാണ്ട്രിയ,อเล็กซานเดรีย,ཡ་ལི་ཧྲན་ད,ალექსანდრია,アレクサンドリア,亚历山大港,亞歷山卓,알렉산드리아

Then what is the problem? What do you want to fix? Everything looks alright.

Again. What is wrong with this?
It looks to me like the correct spelling in Aramaic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_language

The Aramaic wikipedia entry looks exactly the same:
