another thing to check is your host provider.
I have all the things in utf8 but in my host provider it keeps showing
as iso-8859-1, so, after setting database and App.encoding to utf8, i
also had to add a:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"');
at the beggining of index.php in my webroot folder
