Have you explicitly set the UTF8 charset in your .etc file? A snippet of your code would also be helpful.

Hello, I have the same problem. My database has charset =WIN1250 . I set it in .env file and still i can't get characters like ą,ł,ę,ó,ć etc. Do you have any solution?

Hello, i solved it putting this function on my models:

public function setRawAttributes(array $attributes, $sync = false) { foreach ($attributes as $index => $attribute) { $attributes[$index] = utf8_decode($attribute); } return parent::setRawAttributes($attributes, $sync); }
