Make sure your character collation is utf also as that is exactly what
it's for. You might need to use something like mysql_set_charset().
You'll need something like this also:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
The reason I say this is because however you put your data in is how
you need to search on it. So if you inject utf8 into a latin1 db
you're going to have a hard time in the future. Other than that
everything else should just work fine.
