You are not using a UTF-8 database. Mahara stores all data as UTF-8 internally. Please drop and re-create your database using UTF-8 encoding.

Is there anything else I can check?

]]>When I create a mysql database I use this command:
CREATE DATABASE `mydatabasename` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
So does the database you connect to have the character set = utf8?
If not, and your database is empty, you can try running this command:
ALTER DATABASE mydatabasename CHARSET = utf8;
Hope this helps
Cheers
