There was some place in Aegir settings to change the charset, however if 
it has been set to latin-1 for some user for any reason a parameter 
needs to be deleted and the person needs to relogin.

It's been a while since I had to tackle this issue but we have people 
using Aegir in Finnish with UTF-8, no problem. (I only ever saw this 
charset parameter even when upgrading a database from latin-1 to utf-8)
