Hebrew chars retrieved and presented as gibberish through ODBC 5.3

I'm connecting to MySQL Server 8.0.11 using Excel VBA using ODBC 5.3 driver:
[MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver][mysqld-8.0.11]

When storing Hebrew characters in the DB, they are stored OK in the DB (I see it in the MySQL Workbench), but they are presented as gibberish when retreived back to Excel through the ODBC driver. For example, these are the chars I see instead of beautiful Hebrew characters: ׳ž׳×׳—׳× ׳œ׳§׳¨׳•׳•׳׳Ÿ

What is going wrong here, please?

my.ini has:
[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci

Connection string (ADODB):

Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.3 Unicode Driver};Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=xxx;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx;charset=UTF8;OPTION=16427;
