MySQL connection character set problems

On the Mac I got: mysql> show variables like "collation_%"; +----------------------+-------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +----------------------+-------------------+ | collation_connection | utf8_general_ci | | collation_database | utf8_general_ci | | collation_server | latin1_swedish_ci | +----------------------+-------------------+ 3 rows in
