Is it possible to use the database API and prepared statements to avoid
having to go through this exercise?  Also, most database APIs work
natively in unicode, so creating your prepared statement and then
passing in each parameter as an argument saves a lot of hassle, since
the API's usually decode the unicode strings automatically.
