1. Make sure you are setting the JDBC driver to use UTF-8:

   jdbc:mysql://dbname?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8

2. In persistence.xml, set the hibernate connection charset:

   <property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8"/>

If your resources/import.sql file is multi-line, add:

<property 
  name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor"
  value="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.MultipleLinesSqlCommandExtractor" 
/>

or for Spring Boot, in application.properties:

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.connection.charSet=UTF-8
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor=org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.MultipleLinesSqlCommandExtractor
