Jaybird can handle UTF-8 fine if it is specified as the
connection-characterset. In my experience these problems are usually
related to representation problems (eg wrong encoding defined on the
webpage) or a mismatch between the client characterset and the database
characterset.

But indeed, an error message would be helpful.
