Check your queries with MySQL Query Browser 1.1.5, you can download it from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/query-browser/1.1.html Another approach to use utf8 character is to write the queries into the file, and then use a command 'source' of the mysql command line client: mysql> source file.sql Don't forget to set NAMES 'utf8' in every client that you use.
