If your client connection and the database's default character set
are CHARACTER SET NONE, then the parser doesn't know to watch for Turkish
characters.

Try using an introducer:

>INSERT INTO kullanici (ad) VALUES ( _ISO8859_9 'þþýýÝÝ');

This works with literals but not, unfortunately, with parameters. For
parameters, you'll need to CAST the input as a varchar of the correct
length for the receiving column:

INSERT INTO kullanici (ad) VALUES (CAST('þþýýÝÝ' AS VARCHAR(20) CHARACTER
SET ISO8859_9);

This is cumbersome. The proper way if most of your character data is
Turkish is to create your database with DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ISO8859_9 and
have the clients connect using ISO8859_9 in the lc_ctype connection
parameter (however your driver surfaces this - don't know anything about
Aqua Data Studio).
