    Some UTF-8 character not sent unchanged to MySQL

    When I submit a query containing a UTF-8 representation (hex
    value 0xC48D) of the Unicode character &#x010D (lowercase c with
    caron) to the MySQL server using mysql_query, sniffing the
    network traffic reveals that the character is sent as 0xC43F,
    which is not a valid UTF-8 character.

    Some other Unicode characters are also problematic, including
    &#x0110 and &#x00C1, but they are both sent as 0xC33F.

    The MySQL table has been created with CHARACTER SET utf8.

    Is this a PHP bug or a MySQL bug? Or am I misunderstandin g
    something here? Can someone confirm this behaviour?

    I'm using PHP 5.0.2, MySQL 4.1.6gamma and Apache 2.0.49-27.16 on
    SuSE Linux Professional 9.1. MySQL and PHP have been compiled by
    me, Apache is the SuSE default.

    Thanks for any help.
