Doctrine2: How to set all tables to collate with UTF8

Question

I am using Doctrine with Symfony2. My config.yml file looks something like this:-

Doctrine Configuration

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: %data

I've got this problems with fetching data which includes polish characters from database. It looks like:

effects of displaying data from db

my config.yml is like:

doctrine:
dbal:
    driver:   pdo_mysql
    host:     "%database_host%"
    port:     "%database_port%"
    dbname:   "%database_name%"
    user:     "%database_user%"
    password: "%database_password%"
    charset:  UTF8
    options:
         1002:  "SET NAMES 'UTF8'"

and I've been searching for an answer for couple of hours - Im so tired of this. "1002: SET NAMES 'utf8'" Doesnt work for me. But when I tryed to access my db from simple php script (out of symfony) the effect was the same but when I added line:

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

it worked properly. So it seems to be little strange. All the tables in my db have 'utf8_unicode_ci' set.
