So, I managed to solve it after even more extensive googling and experimenting. I didn't take into account that the information stored in the database I'm using has to be encoded with UTF-8 compliant extended characters. This resulted in having to perform two things; 1: Change the collation of the field from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8-generic. 2: Search and replace all the extended characters you want to parse from its original encoding to UTF-8 compliant encoding.
Thanks for the info about the helper!
