Take a look at this work from Marcel:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Handling_UTF8_in_development

If we (currently) do things wrong inside Koha regarding encoding/decoding of
UTF-8 data (double encoding means we are encoding wrong somewhere), then fixing
those symptms will just hide the problem (using utf8::upgrade will avoid the
consequences but not fix the root cause, it might even hide new bugs introduced
by future patches).

It is up to the QA team and the RM to think of the best approach for tackling
this so I'm just leaving this comment, also I appreciate you efforts and hope
this gets fixed soon.
