Actually,
If you add the following line to my.cnf you'll get the same results,
permanently
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
The last statement should be added AFTER all other configs... if not,
it will not work. In other works, add the line at the end of the
[mysqld] section.

I just spent the last 2-3 days converting my entire database (and
website) from charset latin1 (ISO-8859-1) to utf8. Although I used the
mysql library instead of the mysqli library I believe this should help:
SET NAMES 'utf8';
Execute that query before you execute any other query that is going to
use characters that are encoded in utf8. If you would like more
information on what the above statement does here's the link to the
mysql documentation:
