Cuando devuelvo una fila de mi base de datos mySQL, obtengo un? en lugar de algunos caracteres, p. ej .: ò, à etc. Mi fila y tabla mysql están configuradas en utf8_unicode_ci, por lo que creo que la base de datos la está almacenando correctamente pero php no la devuelve correctamente.

Creo que tiene algo que ver conmysql_set_charset pero no puedo hacer que funcione correctamente. ¡Cualquier ayuda sería muy apreciada!

  <?php 
if($row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM customer WHERE uuid='".$_COOKIE['uuid']."'")))
 {
  $first_name = $row['first_name'];
  $last_name = $row['last_name'];
  $gender = $row['gender'];


  $ileach_first_name = $row['ileach_first'];
  $ileach_last_name = $row['ileach_last'];

}

 //If Ileach Name is blank

  if($ileach_last_name == "" || $ileach_first_name == ""){


  // Get ileach last name
  $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_last_names WHERE eng_name='$last_name'"));

  $ileach_last_name = $row['gae_name']; 


  if($ileach_last_name == "") {
     $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_last_names order by rand() limit 1"));
    $ileach_last_name = $row['gae_name'];}  



  //Get ileach First Name
   //If Male
    if($gender == 'M') {

     $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_first_names_m WHERE eng_name='$first_name'"));

     $ileach_first_name = $row['gae_name']; 

     //If no name is selected, get one randomly 
      if($ileach_first_name == "") {
       $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_first_names_m order by rand() limit 1"));
     $ileach_first_name = $row['gae_name']; }
    }
   //If Female 


    else{

     $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_first_names_f WHERE eng_name='$first_name'"));

     $ileach_first_name = $row['gae_name']; 

     //If no name is selected, get one randomly 
     if($ileach_first_name == "") {
       $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(queryDb("SELECT * FROM ileach_first_names_f order by rand() limit 1"));
     $ileach_first_name = $row['gae_name'];}
    }




  //Save ileach name into db

   mysql_query("UPDATE customer SET ileach_first = '$ileach_first_name'
   WHERE uuid='".$_COOKIE['uuid']."' ");

   mysql_query("UPDATE customer SET ileach_last = '$ileach_last_name'
   WHERE uuid='".$_COOKIE['uuid']."' ");
  }


  //Stitch name together.

  $full_ileach_name .=$ileach_first_name;
  $full_ileach_name .= " ";
  $full_ileach_name .= $ileach_last_name;
