Actually I found part of the answer just after posting this. I tried  
the following command:

ALTER DATABASE t3_db DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf-8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci

but it returned an SQL error. I'm running on MySQL 4.0.26. Doesn't  
this version support the above statement? I tried without the  
"DEFAULT" or the "COLLATE" part, but it didn't help.
