As it turned out, this problem was caused by the MySQL connector. We were running v3.1.11. When I installed v3.1.14, the characters started to be saved, retrieved, and displayed correctly

So JConnetor 3.1.11 has a bug converting byte[] from a blob to String and visa versa.
fixed in 3.1.14

There are a couple of known issues that can cause utf8 failures in rwiki and other tools. Chief amongst these are database issues - for both mysql & Oracle whether the db was created correctly with utf8 support, and also for mysql the connection string and mysql connector version are significant.
I am trying to figure out a problem that pops up in RWiki, but does not in some other Sakai Tools such as Chat. We have a Tibhetan scholar, and he pastes content into the wiki that uses both the Tibetan font and the Chinese font (as well as some other diacritical marks). When the paste happens, the characters appear as they should. However, when you go to look at it later, all that appears in question marks. How can we get RWiki to handle UTF-8 ?

(John Leasia notes that this sounds similar to what happens in Resources when editing a simple text file in some cases - SAK-1357)
