Whats your Collation settings in phpMyAdmin?

Did you do this?

Go to phpMyAdmin->Operations. From there go to Collation and change it to "utf8_general_ci", then hit "Go".

Now I am trying to move my Zencart shop from my old server to a new one. I built the shop by using UTF8 code and it works fine on my old server. But after I moved the shop, I am facing some character code issue.
When I restored my backup copy to the new server, it could display correct characters on both MySql(PHPMyAdmin) and my Zencart shop, but when I input some data from my web shop(for instance, input personal data when signing up for a new account or add a new product from admin page), the characters will become a mess. Besides, if I insert the data from PHPMyAdmin, everything will be fine.
I followed the directions of this post to install a fresh Zencart with UTF8 in my new server but still have the same problem.
Does any one know what could be the reason of this issue? Thank you for your advice in advance.
