Comment (by tenpura):

 The issue is all about how we setup WP and MySQL character set in the
 right manner, not only about UTF-8. Since some people prefer to use WP in
 other encodings than UTF-8, we need to think about the solution more
 globally.

 >since storing and retreiving UTF-8 data to an SQL database with latin
 character set seems to work.

 This is true only when all the related MySQL system variables are set to
 the same character set. In this state (so-called skip-character-set-
 client-handshake), MySQL 4.1 and higher won't auto-convert character set
 like good old 4.0, so we can retrieve the original input. However, the
 situation is not always like this.
