MySQL - кодировка

Everything is utf8:

# vi /etc/my.cnf
[client]
default-character-set=utf8 

[mysqldump]
default-character-set = utf8 

[mysqld]
default-character-set=utf8
init-connect = "SET NAMES utf8"
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci 

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8

mysql> set character_set_client=utf8;
mysql> set character_set_connection=utf8;
mysql> set character_set_results=utf8;

mysql> show variables like 'char%';
