This can be related to a locale problem. locale's are comparable to regional settings (like language, etc).
If I'm not mistaken, there's also a locale for Ascii (ANSI) codes.
Try
locale -a
and post back what you find.
If you are going to take backups of your MySql database, why would you use the Mysql admin? Why not simply use
mysqldump instead? Dump the entire database to a text file, zip it and save the zip file in the safe location where you keep your backups.
