Å, Ä and Ö not working for me.

Hello!

I am using your Connector/J with JDBC in Java to create and populate a
database. However, the database contains Swedish characters (Å, Ä and Ö). I am able to create tables and insert data with Swedish characters via PHPMyAdmin and such, but via JDBC the characters appear as A? or O?. I have tried to connect to the
server with encoding in the URL such as:

?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1

However, this did not work. I have read that the default encoding should
be able to handle the Scandinavian characters anyways so I'm guessing
changeing the encoding was futile to begin with. I did try UTF-8 as well
but without success.

What should I do? I've approached the issue iteratively and concluded
that the connector is the problem. Is there a way to maintain the
encoding all the way from the application to the database via the
connector?
