mysqlimport and utf8 data

[Flo Reeder]

I am trying to import data with mysqlimport. The data is UTF-8 data (European, Russian). The database was created with:

CREATE DATABASE mydb DEFAULT CHARSET utf8;

The import is attempted with:

mysqlimport -# -u root -v -d --default-character-set=utf8 --fields-terminated-by=\t mydb myfile.csv

I am using the Windows version of 5.0.

Help please,
