This is, in fact, not UTF8, no matter how much you'd like to think so.
It might possibly be LATIN1 or some other single-byte encoding. What
you're going to need to do is figure out what you really have and
convert it all to a common encoding.
One of the disadvantages of SQL_ASCII mode is that it will let you wind
up with a mishmash of different encodings in your DB :-(
