These two querys gives me the exact same result:

select * from topics where name='Harligt';
select * from topics where name='Härligt';

How is this possible? Seems like mysql translates åäö to aao when it searches. Is there some way to turn this off?

I use utf-8 encoding everywhere as far as i know. The same problem occurs both from terminal and from php.
