To have unicode support in Koha you need to do a couple of things.

When creating the tables in mysql you need to set the encoding to UTF8.

>From the Koha Intranet interface go to the Parameters->System Preferences
page. The select the Intranet tab. There is a setting for "Template
encoding".  What is this value in your installation? It should be set to
utf-8.  This may be the default in the latest versions.
