sounds like its a MYSQL localistion / setup issue. What character set have you defined for your MySQL server. It defaults to Swedish

you may need to consider using unicode to store your data.

Check to see if the version of MySQL supports unicode, it didn't at version 3.23.36 it is / was planned for for later releases.
