UTF8 unicode ci and Greek characters

Post by Sindarin »

The Greek characters in the database show up like ³Î·ÎºÎ¾ÏƒÎ¾ÎºÏ†Î¾ÏƒÎ´Î·Ï†Î·ÏƒÎ´Î¾Ï†Î·Î»ÏƒÎ´Î·Î but on my site they look correct.
I use utf8_unicode_ci for everything in my database, shouldn't the Greek characters look like "Αυτό είναι ένα τέστ."?
I have also noticed that when they show up on my site I get invalid characters when I perform string functions like trimming.
