Thanks to everybody's suggestions, problem solved. Yes, the default encoding for PHP's mysql client is latin1. So a quick query of: "SET NAMES 'utf8'" *per connection* works it all out. The articles and links were very helpful in alluminating some of the other particulars of working with utf-8. These will take a bit more reading and studying...
