Most bizzare problem with Unicode (UTF8)

I have a java client and I am using the latest version of stable mySQL and jdbc driver. During the mySQL installation I checked the set UTF8 as default encoding for my databases.

I create a UTF8 database using Navicat and I import data from an Access Database.

- In Navicat imported unicode characters display just fine.
- In java client imported unicode characters display like this:
ÐÑÏÌ.ÊÁÔ.ÓÕÍ.ÉÍÊÁ ×ÁÍÉÙÍ ÐÅ ÅÐÉÓÊÏÐÇ ÁÃÉÁÓ
- If I use my java client to store something to the DB in Navicat is shows up like this:
?????? ??? ???
BUT - in java client it shows up just fine.

So basically if I empty my database and start using my java client to manipulate data (as I do most of the times) everything works just fine.

If I import data from MS Access i get the mess.

Is there any chance someone knows whats going on?
Is there a better tool that converts MS Access to mySQL that handles Unicode properly?

Thank you.
