MySQL stores characters using encodings, for example a byte contain 0x41 is the code for "A". For Greek, there is more than one possible encoding. In ISO 8859-7 Π (PI) is 0xd0, in utf8 Π is 0xcea0, in ucs2 Π is 0x03a0. If you go direct to the database (I think you mean "if you dump the underlying file"), you'll see the characters encoded in whatever you picked when you created the table.
