Currently, all data in the mysql database use utf8, and I'm running a wfs

ie or firefox to retrieve data and show them correctly on screen, using utf8
encoding. Question marks show up only in mapserver generated images.
Any advise how can I pin down the cause of this problem?
have you done what the other folks have suggested (verify data/encoding)? can
you dump out a text file from mySQL & double check that the text is still
readable & unicode?
sorry but i don't know enough about OGR to be specific but in most cases it's
the db driver itself or it's settings. in the past, i've dealt w/mySQL JDBC
driver (outside of mapserver apps) & its url usually needed
useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
added to the connection string (not sure if this is still the case w/newer
versions) to get unicode to work.
also if you're sure your db *is* unicode, have you tried dropping the utf-8
encoding from your label?
