ERROR 1366 (HY000): Incorrect string value: '\x9B'

In my MySQL-database I get an 1366 error when I try to insert the letter 'ø'.
I have made everything in my database utf8, so I thought this should do it.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
This is how I make the database:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS foodbase_2
CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
USE foodbase_2;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS User (
UserId int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
Username varchar(15) NOT NULL,
Password varchar(15) NOT NULL,
Firstname varchar(25) NOT NULL,
Lastname varchar(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (UserId),
UNIQUE KEY (Username)
) ENGINE=INNODB;
mysql> set names utf8;
When I try to insert a row through the command shell in Windows I get the following message:
mysql> insert into user values('0000', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'ø');
ERROR 1366 (HY000): Incorrect string value: '\x9B' for column 'Lastname' at row 1
mysql> select lastname, hex(lastname), char(lastname), char_length(lastname) from user;
