You may need to write the strings to the database using the utf8-string
package.
Also, if you're never actually decoding the data, it may be your CGI app
generating a page with the wrong content type. When starting up your CGI
app, set the content type to utf8,
main = runFastCGIorCGI $ ...
setHeader "Content-type" "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
...
So check the headers being generated are of the correct type.
Cheers,
Don
