Maybe you could let MySQL convert it to utf8:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-convert.html

But of course its better, if you don't have to convert twice.
There is a library supporting utf8 in C++:
http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/

Maybe you can try with this library you're luck.
Otherwise there are options for converting charcter-sets widely in
differentlibraries in C++.

Maybe you could also solve the problem, when you run the code under a different
os.
