Any hints lantin1 utf-8

Would you please give any suggestions or hints about storing data into
MySQL.

I have a site where I use MySQL database to store usually Arabic texts. I
use a custom contorl panel to store/retrieve the Arabic texts from the
database. Everything up to now is OK.

But When I try to open the database directly using (say phpmyadmin) the
Arabic texts does not appear correctly. Its appears something like 'ãä ÇáÐí
äÇÕÑ ÅÓÑÇÆíáÇð ¿'.

The default charset of the database/table is latin1. I know it's a matter of
encoding used. But how can I be able to view the data directly correctly ???
