Can’t add Categories with Latvian letters!

I can’t add Categories with Latvian letters because still WP doesn’t install UTF-8 databases! Stupid. When I install new WP it creates latin1_swedish_ci encoded db. Why not UTF-8?! Every time I install new WP, I have to dump db, then change all these settings manually to utf-8 and then restore db from the changed MySQL file. Why WP can’t create normal setup in the first place? And connection to db is also STILL BROKEN – it doesn’t create UTF-8 connection to the db. After every update I have to add two more lines in the wp-settings.php file:

mysql_query(“SET CHARACTER SET utf8”);
mysql_query(“SET NAMES utf8”);
?>

Here’s what I get when I try to add new category with Latvian letters (“Pasākumi”):

Add Category

WordPress database error: [Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation ‘=’]
SELECT tt.term_id, tt.term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy as tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id WHERE t.name = ‘Pasākumi’ AND tt.taxonomy = ‘category’
