--- Comment #7 from Marc Véron <veron at veron.ch> ---
I followed the advice on 
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_tarball#Tweaking_my.cnf
and
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha
and added the following to: 

/etc/mysql/my.cnf
----------
[mysqld] 
init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci
character_set_client=utf8
----------

Then I restarted mysql with: /etc/init.d/mysql restart

As a result, I get the following in mysql: 

mysql> show variables like '%colla%';
+----------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name        | Value           |
+----------------------+-----------------+
| collation_connection | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_database   | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_server     | utf8_general_ci |
+----------------------+-----------------+

mysql> show variables like '%char%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8                       |
| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+


...and the charecters now display fine.

Having a MySQL configuration sanity check in about > system check
would be great!
