i faced the same problem but with Chinese data, and it is not only the UTF8 in the db connection is the solution you should also do this:

Ensure that your MySQL configuration encoding is defined correctly. Add these lines to either my.cnf "in the case if using linux" or my.ini "case you using windows"

[client] 
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
character-set-server=utf8
