As an update to this post, it turns out that running the same test case in MySQL Query Browser produces the intended results. The problem was with the command line window, and even though my active code was correctly set to 850 (on Vista machines you had to execute "chcp 850" on your command line to get it to accept UTF-8 input), Windows 7 apparently does not accept the UTF-8 characters properly from the command line. I'm not interested in finding a solution to this and will just use Query Browser for all my French character needs for now.

Now I am moving on to the next problem where my form submits are producing garbled text, but I am optimistic I will find a solution.
