I've never looked at it. I did a search and the 0.2 version I found isn't
correct (my perl may be rusty, but I don't see character (de/en)coding in
there).

Looking good from a select may be a bad sign. Look at the hex for the field.
Until you see the utf8 sequence I posted, the tool you are using is still
broken.
