I've got some weird characters too. When access the website it displays ok, however, using phpMyAdmin to look at the database it displays unread characters, for example:
Äược ngÆ°á»i bạn mách cho má»™t trang web ...
in phpMyAdmin I am using the following setting:
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci OR utf8_unicode_ci
