Rails - Apr 2006 - [maybe ot] Special Characters in DB Fields

I have MySQL on a Linux (RH) server and Mac OSX. I did a mysqldump on the
Linux box and imported it into the database on the Mac. The following text
is in one of the fields:

Maui???s Westin Ka???anapali 

This is supposed to read 

Maui''s Westin Ka''anapali [note: straight quotes shown here are
really
apostrophes]

In fact, it renders properly when served up from the Linux box (Safari
client). Served up from the OSX box, it doesn''t. All encoding is utf-8,
database, page, everything.

I even have the following in application.rb:

  before_filter :set_charset

  # ... stuff ...  

  private  
  def set_charset
		@headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"
  end

Questions: Has anyone had this problem (or the related black diamond with a
question mark); and is there a known cause/fix?

Thanks
