You right,

the problem is in ssh client.
The same data received and sent again is not the same for the database. However, everything is ok when script works taking commands from a file, this solves the problem.

Could you please tell us which SSH client you are using, I presume you
are using Putty - if so there is a option in one of the menus for
setting the character encoding - but to be quite honest Putty's
character support is poor.
