 never encodes them in the first place.

 I see. The data are actually stored as UTF8 despite the table charset. We
 all know MySQL doesn't care when charset is Latin1, it takes anything,
 like binary. So it's wrong to assume actual Latin1 encoding just because
 data is stored in such table/column.

 Remove the encoding function at get an instant fix at the same time.
