Hmm... I don't think that's the way they're stored--maybe the way you
see them esp. if you're doing the query on a "terminal" that doesn't
support the encoding in question...

I've never seen this one. For example, any Japanese characters
$_POSTed would *always* show them as they were when you do a
print_r($_POST). If not, most probably it has something to do with the
way you display the page (e.g. wrong encoding).
