This appears to be an issue with your mysql database and how you set it 
up.. It is using charset='latin-1' whereas you need it to consistently 
use charset='utf8' both for storing strings and for retrieval. Check the 
mysql manual or ask on a mysql list for how to do that. I have no idea 
so don't ask me, or send mail to my emall address.
