The characters look binary, so this might be a problem of conversion
latin1 -> utf8 or vice versa.

Try dumping with:

mysqldump --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile

And loading the dump with:

mysql --default-character-set=binary ... >/path/to/dumpfile

Let us know if that works.

HTH,
