Thank you for your reply. Solved!
Only changing the the CHARSET=utf8mb4 in the odbc.ini for the connection resolves the problem.
It doesn't completely make sense to me if the default is utf8 (instead of utf8mb4). The multi-byte characters in my string, \xC5\xA0 and \xC4\x8D, are only 2-bytes. Maybe something in my config is defaulting to latin1? I was guessing this was a setup problem as it is unlikely all muli-byte utf8 being broken wouldn't have been noticed. Many thanks again!
