utf8 issue with latin characters containing acutes a

Running this query:

SELECT *
FROM `tbl_people`
WHERE name =3D 'Dav=E9'

Returns results like:

'Dave'


I've checked my column, table and database and all are set to
utf8_general_ci collation

And I'm also runnig set names 'utf8' before my select statement.


Am I missing something obvious, I've had a google and others seem to
have the same issue:

Any help appreciated,

Cheers.
