TMyDump and unicode

I've notice that TMyDump is unable to properly backup a table that contains unicode characters. The result SQL or file contains no unicode.

is that a bug?

You can work with TMyDump and Unicode with following settings:
Connection.Options.Charset = utf8;
Connection.Options.UseUnicode = False;

yes that is what I did but the SaveToFile option saves the file in a non unicode format. Have you tested?

Yes, we have tested this issue. String values are saved in utf8 format. To run this SQL script you should execute SET NAMES utf8 command previously.
