Hi Jackson Your database really needs to be created in UTF-8 charset. You must create it before launching eZ Publish setup wizard :
CREATE DATABASE `mydatabase` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8`; If you already created your database in Latin1 charset for example, you will need to change the charset :
ALTER DATABASE `mydatabase` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8`

Jackson, Jérôme is right but I think your problem might be that you do not have shell (direct) access to alter your database configuration - is that right? This is generally the case with many webhosts and is done for security reasons. However, most webhosts with MySQL will also have a GUI management tool like phpMyAdmin for example. Uisng phpMyAdmin you are able to run the necessry SQL commands as Jérôme describes either by pasting them into a text-field or by pointing and clicking. There are many, many phpMyAdmin tutorials and how-to's out there so check first that you have it installed on your host, and then go looking for how to convert/create a DB in it with UTF-8 encoding.
Good luck
