 When updating an option with a value which contains a special character
 the value is truncated (example: I tried to insert 'testºthis' and I ended
 up with only 'test' in the database).

 I noticed replacing define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); with
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf-8'); fixed the issue.
 Is there a reason 'DB_CHARSET' is set to 'utf8' instead of 'utf-8' ?
