I know this thread is a little bit outdated, but i had similar problems and happened upon this thread via Google, so others might too...
A database client was to be compiled on Max OS X.4 wich has access to a text column with UTF-8 - encoding. Output is displayed in MacRoman, default charset was Latin1. Though the conversion was easy, i lost characters on the way from database to screen.
The solution was:
mysql_query(mysql,"SET NAMES 'utf8'"); /* note the apostrophes: 'utf8' */
mysql_query(mysql,"SET CHARACTER SET utf8"); /* no apostrohes */
Everything was set on UTF-8 and worked fine.
