Are all of your fields using the UTF8 character set? I think that's
necessary.
We use UTF8 and have stored Chinese characters successfully using UTF8 with
a PHP web application. (At least, they look right to me - I don't know
Chinese at all.)

Global Information
I have many tables like the table Person:below, in mysql database.
person_id, first_name,last_name, mi, gb_first_name, gb_last_name,
b5_first_name, b5_last_name, gender, dob
where different columns storing strings in different encodings.
All the strings/fields etc. need to be in the *same*
