MySQL UTF8 Issue - mysql

Question

Okay, I have tried to import "CSV" file into MySQL for the past 24 hours but have failed miserably.
I have set name, set char and there is nothing left that I have not set to UTF8 but it still is not working. Not just for the DB and Tables, but for the server as well, still no use.
I am importing directly into MySQL so it is not PHP issue. I will be grateful if anyone can highlight where am I going wrong.
mysql> SHOW CREATE DATABASE `dict_2`;
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------+
| Database | Create Database
|
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------+
| dict_2 | CREATE DATABASE `dict_2` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLAT
E utf8_unicode_ci */ |
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show variables like "%character%"; show variables like "%collation%";
+--------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |

| character_set_client | utf8 |

In its current form, this question is impossible to answer.
We're left guessing...
That you're using a MySQL LOAD DATA statement.
You've verified that the characterset encoding of the .csv file is not ucs2.
You've verified that the characterset encoding of the .csv file is utf8 (i.e. matches the character_set_database system variable), of that you've specified the appropriate characterset in the CHARACTER SET clause of the LOAD DATA statement.
Beyond that, there's a whole slew of other things that might be wrong, but we're still just guessing.
Very frequently when something MySQL "fail miserably", there's some sort of indication, like an error message, or some other behavior that we can observe and describe.
In the question, the description of the failure mode is beyond vague, it's entirely non-existent.
