IBExpert shows the strings in two ways - unicode and plain text. When
the database is updated via Qt code, unicode looks like this: più and
plain text looks like this: più - which is fine.

However - regardless of which version I place in my sql script for
processing through isql - I end up with incorrect values. I have a SET
NAMES UTF8; at the start of my script - which seems to work if I have
this string; 'più', but not this 'più'.

Thanks,
