Robert, Connector/J should be able to handle UTF-8 just fine as long as you've configured MySQL appropriately (and it appears from your previous posts that you have). (The character set itself is actually tested in the unit test suite). However, once you start displaying things on the console, all bets are off...because your console needs to understand UTF-8 as well, so using the 'eyeball' method of testing won't work too well here. Have you compared the strings you insert into the database with the strings you retrieve _inside_ the JVM (i.e. by using the .equals()) method...If the two strings are indeed equal inside Java, then you would at least know that the issue doesn't start there.
