I am doing migration to generate SQL from one DB to another. 

I am trying to get the output [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/maTyB.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/maTyB.jpg)

But when I did a `mb_convert_encoding("Mr.Wang (王老板)", 'UTF-8', 'Windows-1252')`

I have the output as [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/m70HK.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/m70HK.jpg)

I have those two extra "box". Any idea what am I doing wrong? 

phpMyAdmin is able to export my old database containing chinese text in correct format, how do it do that in script?
