I'd start by checking that you are using the same encoding throughout the app (the encoding advertised to the browser, database connection encoding, encoding of the table/columns etc) or funny things will happen. For example if you try and insert invalid UTF8 content in a UTF8 column (eg because it's actually Latin-1 text) MySQL will silently truncate it.
