Usually all you have to do get a working UTF-8 setup with PHP/MySQL is to issue a SET NAMES 'utf8' query to MySQL before you do any other queries. And, of course, the Content-Type HTTP header and/or the HTML charset declaration must be set accordingly.

Moreover, if you have problems posting some Unicode codepoints (for instance, Emojis), you have to set the table charset to utf8mb4.

(Note: your question is very unspecific both in describing what you did and what the problem is, so this answer is only a guess.)
