How are you escaping your sql? Are you using the same method in your web app? If you are not, then I think this is probably the issue. I use sqlYoga and if I am not mistaken, it has it's own built in escaping. You may want to have a chat with Trevor Devore about this sort of thing.
You may want to check the charset of your sql database itself. If you don't ever expect to use a foreign language or exotic characters, then UTF8 should work fine.
