I've a MySQL table that has a UTF-8 charset and upon attempting to insert to it via a PHP form, the database gives the following error:
PDOStatement::execute(): SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE8' for column ...
The character in question is 'è', yet I don't see why this should be a problem considering the database and table are set to UTF-8.
Edit
I've tried directly from the mysql terminal and have the same problem.
