Just as a followup, I did some more reading and I think the discrepancy
in charsets is because phpMyAdmin is using utf-8. I ran a status query
in mysql and see that the 4 default charsets are in fact all latin1.

This being the case, how do I check to make sure my php application is
connecting with latin1? I'm not really sure where to check this or how
to set it... I only know that phpMyAdmin has a setting in it's config file.

Please correct me if anything I just typed is wrong. And also, I still
am not sure if the scenario I posted at the end of my initial post
regarding latin1 instead of utf-8 for my tables is ok. Thanks!!!
