As usual, I prove myself wrong. I found something in the documentation.txt
and config.default.php that comes in the package. and in
$cfg['AvailableCharsets'] is an array that includes 'utf-8'.

$cfg['DefaultLang'] string
Defines the default language to use, if not browser-defined or
user-defined.
See the select_lang.lib.php script to know the valid values for
this
setting.

$cfg['Lang'] string
Force: always use this language (must be defined in the
select_lang.lib.php script).

$cfg['FilterLanguages'] string
Limit list of available languages to those matching the given
regular
expression. For example if you want only Czech and English, you
should set filter to '^(cs|en)'.

$cfg['DefaultCharset'] string
Default character set to use for recoding of MySQL queries. This
must
be enabled and it's described by $cfg['AllowAnywhereRecoding']
option.
You can give here any character set which is in
$cfg['AvailableCharsets'] array and this is just default choice,
user
can select any of them.

$cfg['AllowAnywhereRecoding'] boolean
Allow character set recoding of MySQL queries. You need recode or
iconv support (compiled in or module) in PHP to allow MySQL
queries
recoding and used language file must have it enabled (by default
only
these which are in Unicode, just to avoid losing some characters).
Setting this to TRUE also activates a pull-down menu in the Export
page, to choose the character set when exporting a file.

$cfg['RecodingEngine'] string
You can select here which functions will be used for character set
conversion. Possible values are:

+ auto - automatically use available one (first is tested iconv,
then
recode)
+ iconv - use iconv or libiconv functions
+ recode - use recode_string function

Default is auto.

$cfg['IconvExtraParams'] string
Specify some parameters for iconv used in charset conversion. See
iconv documentation for details.

$cfg['AvailableCharsets'] array
Available character sets for MySQL conversion. You can add your
own
(any of supported by recode/iconv) or remove these which you don't
use. Character sets will be shown in same order as here listed, so
if
you frequently use some of these move them to the top.

[5.11] Extended-ASCII characters like German umlauts are displayed
wrong.

Please ensure that you have set your browser's character set to the one o
f the language file you have selected on phpMyAdmin's start page. Altern
atively, you can try the auto detection mode that is supported by the re
cent versions of the most browsers.

[5.12] Apple OS X: Safari browser changes special characters to "?".

This issue has been reported by a OS X user, who adds that Chimera, Netsc
ape and Mozilla do not have this problem.
