It's also worth mentioning, I used mysql 5, and set it to use UTF8 encoding; this
seems to be related. Maybe I should re-install using latin1?
make sure that the charset used in your database schema match your
setup (use show create table xwikidoc to confirm it). There may be a
problem with the latin1 charset used in the initial xwiki database
export.
This URL provides information about solving the exact same issuer with
mismatching collations using JDBC/Mysql5 :

I'm not familiar enough with Mysql under windows to give you any kind
of help on this matter. RTFM, maybe ? ;)
