When I use the JDBC MySQL connector my strings are not correctly encoded
You need to set the Unicode option when you set the connection string for jdbc:mysql.
mysql://host:3306/DatabaseName?useUnicode=TRUE&characterEncoding=<your encoding>
When the character encoding isn't specified then the server encoding will be used. Please consult the MySQL documentation for more information on this subject.
