The default configuration file of MySql is my.cnf (location: /etc/my.cnf for Linux) and my.cfg (location: Program File/MySql for windows). For utf-8 supported database, there must be an entry of UTF-8 parameter in my.cfg file. But sometime mysql does use the my.cnf file from other location than /etc/my.cnf. If you change the required parameter in /etc/my.cnf file, it may not be reflected in database.
