[TYPO3-english] value mismatch with fieldtype

[Historia]

Hello,

thanks, I am working with typo3 for 7 years and have now the problem of 
living in a country with a script called G'eez or Amharic. I am quite 
amazed that the charset is still standard on latin and that therefore I 
get this value mismatch when I paste in Amharic text. The value mismatch 
was not an issue with version 4.4.

My wamp package has actually MySQL charset set to UTF-8, the database 
created is however latin1 swedish. For western settings this works fine, 
because typo3 seems to make the right conversions automatically.

On my Productionserver I just installed a new package with 4.5.2 and 
there the database is on utf-8, locally I am still using 4.5.0. I hope 
the issue is now fixed.

settings are:
character set client = utf8
character set connection = utf8
character set database = latin1

both local on a mysql 5.5.8
and server on a mysql 5.0.67
