Encoding problem

Hello,

I created a table where in the MySQL Workbench the collation is set to "utf8 - default collation".

Now, I tried to fill up this table with "insert"-commands, created by a Java program and written to a file which is also encoded in UTF-8. On the commandline, I imported the stuff via

/mysql -u root -p MYDATABASE < import.sql

It seems to work, the table is filled up with the data. But when I take a look at the content of the table with the MySQl Workbench, all German "Umlauts" and other special characters are messed up. The same when I look at the data from within Netbeans.

Surprisingly, on the commandline everything works well and all characters are shown up perfectly...

Now, I dumped the database (on my developing machine) and restored it on the production server. There, again all special characters are gone, and now, also in the commandline they are screwed up ... at the moment, I'm absolutly not sure if my data is correctly imported or not ...?

So, am I doing something wrong? What is the best way to deal with UTF-8 data coming from Java, has to be imported into the database??

Thank you very much for any help.
