working with database in UTF-8

[Jackey Cheung]

Greetings!

I'm trying to setup a mapserver that supports multiple languages with MySQL.
The database uses UTF-8, while the map server use a select statement to
retrieve records. The layer goes as:

    LAYER
        NAME                        sr
        STATUS                    OFF

        TYPE                        POINT
        CONNECTIONTYPE    OGR
        CONNECTION            "<OGRVRTDataSource>
                                            <OGRVRTLayer name='sr'>

<SrcDataSource>MYSQL:MapSQL,user=root,password=123456,host=localhost,port=3306,tables=POI</SrcDataSource>
                                                <SrcSQL>SELECT `Name`, geom
FROM `POI` WHERE `ID` = %o%</SrcSQL>

<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
                                            </OGRVRTLayer>
                                         </OGRVRTDataSource>"
        DATA                        "sr"
        UNITS                        METERS

        MAXFEATURES            1
        LABELITEM                "Name"

        CLASS
            SYMBOL                    "point"
            MINSIZE                    10
            COLOR                        250    0    0
            OUTLINECOLOR        0    128    0

            LABEL
                ENCODING            "utf-8"
                COLOR                    255    0    0
                OUTLINECOLOR    255    255    255
                TYPE                    TRUETYPE
                FONT                    arial
                SIZE                    8
                ANTIALIAS            TRUE
                POSITION            UC
                PARTIALS            FALSE
                BUFFER                5
                FORCE                    TRUE
            END
        END
    END

All Chinese characters are shown as question marks (?) on the map, no mater
using arial or Chinese fonts.

Any advise?
