Well, there are two options... either does the dtabase somewhere stores
the flag indicating that some string is in UTF8, or you have to add that
information yourself. For the latter, I don't know if it'll actually
work, but it seems like an appropriate way to do it: add a "BOM" marker
at the start of the string.
