No Unicode there.

The problem is that you're using Windows. When you set language to
Romanian, Windows turns your code page to Windows1250 or Windows1252.
These are similar with ISO8859-2, but not quite exact. For example, in
my language (serbian) two of the 5 special characters don't work.

Solution is to either:
1. use Win1250 or Win1252 in database
2. convert chars (i belive you can find conversion charts on the Internet)
3. don't use Windows ;)
