Mira que comando es ese que ejecutaste o de donde anotaste eso, la consulta deberia generarte algo asi:
Código PHP:
<>
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%character_set%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | utf8 |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | latin1 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
mysql> show create database sib;
+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Database | Create Database |
+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| sib | CREATE DATABASE `sib` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_spanish2_ci */ |
+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
deberian generarte respuesta de ese tipo, pero lo que me muestras no tengo idea de que exactamente es, puedes ser un poco mas explicito, cya
