I've just imported a big list of regions/states to the Magento table directory_country_region as UTF8

However, in the region/state box at checkout I now see encoding issues for many special characters. As this droplist is not the only place where this information is printed out I need to find a solution that work sitewide. Is there like any global setting that can sort this?

Deleteted everything and reimported with Latin 1 as I noted that: character_set_database, latin1

Looks good at checkout so hopefully this will work.

For those of you interested I used this post of how to make the import: http://www.techawaken.com/adding-region-states-options-dropdown-address-checkout-pages/

As for the data I exported everthing from an different platform in Magento format and excluded all countries currently in the table directory_country_region
