Could you test insert sql using my test UI program (jdbctool.zip).
Type in the INSERT sql and run it. Then run SELECT query to see results.

What if you remove charset from url and use something like this:
jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:c:/db/mydb.fdb?encoding=UTF8&user=myid&passwor
d=mypwd

I dont know about addBatch command, never used if it creates
additional quirks.
