Not sure why it would show up as a question mark when you generate the
form with the helper, however, when connecting to the database, make
sure you set the encoding as well.
var $default = array('driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'login' => 'username',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'database_name',
'encoding' => 'utf8'
);
