Just a quick thought, MySQL does not by default create tables in UTF-8
format. Have you ensured that this is switched on? Basically check that
ASP.NET also understands that this stuff is UTF-8 and also ensure your
html states that this is UTF-8

That *should* solve the problem.

If it does, I'll email you address and you can send me a jar of marmite :)
