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;
+----------+---------------+----------------+-----------------------+
| lastname | hex(lastname) | char(lastname) | char_length(lastname) |
+----------+---------------+----------------+-----------------------+
| a | 61 | | 1 |
+----------+---------------+----------------+-----------------------+


mysql> show VARIABLES LIKE '%CHAR%';

--------------------------+---------
Variable_name | Value
--------------------------+---------
character_set_client | utf8
character_set_connection | utf8
character_set_database | utf8
character_set_filesystem | binary
character_set_results | utf8
character_set_server | utf8
character_set_system | utf8
character_sets_dir | C:\Progr...

mysql> show VARIABLES LIKE '%Coll%';
+----------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------+-----------------+
| collation_connection | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_database | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_server | utf8_general_ci |
+----------------------+-----------------+
