[Mediawiki-l] Wikimedia DB dump - encoding in categorylinks/imagelinks

[KimToner]

Hello,

I make some select from wikimedia categorylinks table on a local DB.
"SELECT cl_from FROM categorylinks WHERE cl_to = $catname;"
For categories with accents in the name, i cannot get any results.
I've tried to encode the $catName in latin1, utf-8 and even tryed to URL
encode both versions. 
No luck... 
The MySQL instance is configured with default values for the encoding. 

Am i missing something here? 
Would someone have a hint?

thanks,

Kim
