It's actually not a Gtk3 thing, it's a Perl thing.

Note line #12 of that gist. Just for shits and giggles, I changed
some of your strings output in the liststore to add more UTF-8-ness.
Perl 5.20.2, Gtk3 0.021, Glib 1.310 on Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.5).
From http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html:
"As a compatibility measure, the use utf8 pragma must be explicitly
included to enable recognition of UTF-8 in the Perl scripts themselves
(in string or regular expression literals, or in identifier names) on
ASCII-based machines or to recognize UTF-EBCDIC on EBCDIC-based
machines. These are the only times when an explicit use utf8 is
needed. See utf8."
I thought the above became the default at some point, but according to
the current docs, you still need the 'use utf8;' pragma.
As far as the database, I would ask if you've enabled UTF-8 everywhere
that you possibly can. Also, I've had this happen to me in the past,
things I expected to be UTF-8 sometimes weren't; if you get high-byte
ASCII in your data, most UTF-8 string handling routines will become
very unhappy.
Thanks,
