I was updating a testing database from Grouper v2.2.1 to v2.2.2. When I ran
`gsh -registry -check`, I got the warning:

Error: Cannot properly read UTF string from database: '???????', make sure
your database has UTF tables and perhaps a hibernate.connection.url in
grouper.hibernate.properties

I went through the MySQL tables and made sure to change them all to charset
utf8 with collation utf8_bin (some of the views still show the previous
collation for some reason). However, the warning persists.

Is there a particular table it is writing to to make this determination?

Thanks,
