Multilingual Database language representation problem

Hello,
I am having an issue with Japanese fields that are in my database not being represented in my Xataface app. The database is setup with UTF-8
utf8_unicode_ci
to be exact. The Japanese characters are represented correctly when I view the database contents through PHPMyAdmin but when I view the contents of the table through my Xataface app I get double question marks ?? where the Japanese characters should be.
I tried adding the following to my conf.ini file after I found it in another forum post:
multilingual_content=1 (added at the beginning of the file)
also added
default_oe = UTF-8
default_ie = UTF-8
to enable unicode but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

P.S. The strange thing is that if I edit a record and type in the Japanese characters and save the record, the Japanese is displayed correctly in Xataface but then it is not displayed correctly in PHPMyAdmin....?
