Leaving this here for those who come to this site via Google because they have the same issue but use PDO instead (like me) - you should be fine with:

$dns = "mysqli:host=localhost;dbname=db_name";
$pdo = new PDO($dns, 'db_user', 'db_pass',
        array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8'));
$pdo->exec("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
