It's either > a MySQL characterset setting or a Connector/J setting. Character set encoding is set automatically by Connector/J based on the character set encoding of the server (the value of the character_set (pre 4.1.0) and character_set_server (4.1.0 and newer). You can override the automatic determination by using the characterEncoding property to the connect string.
