Answer 1

be sure to run SET NAMES utf8 on the database

Example (with the use of PDO):

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=mydb', 'root', '', array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES utf8"));

Answer 2

Set also the charset of the database connection. Setting this parameter will tell your database object to deliver UTF-8 encoded strings, even if they are stored otherwise in the database. Of course storing the data in the same format UTF-8 will make the delivering faster.

// tells the mysqli connection to deliver UTF-8 encoded strings.
$db = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPassword, $dbName);
$db->set_charset('utf8');

// tells the pdo connection to deliver UTF-8 encoded strings.
$dsn = "mysql:host=$dbHost;dbname=$dbName;charset=utf8";
$db = new PDO($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPassword);

// tells the mysql connection to deliver UTF-8 encoded strings.
$db = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPassword);
mysql_set_charset('utf8', $db);
