Description:
Migration Toolkit's JDBC driver sets session character set to latin1 on target database, hence rendering all other character support useless. 

How to repeat:
Select source database that has utf8 (or any other non-latin1) data, select destination to support multilanguage, migrate the data, observe general log. 

Setting JDBC connection string (and characterEncoding) seems to fix this. 

Suggested fix:
Connection character set should be set to utf8.
