title: Laravel 5 Eloquent charset utf8 issues
body: <p>I use Laravel 5.1 and a mysql server.
  I have a database with table in utf8 unicode, and my databse configuration file is like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>'mysql' =&gt; array(
  'driver'    =&gt; 'mysql',
  'host'      =&gt; 'localhost',
  'database'  =&gt; 'database',
  'username'  =&gt; 'root',
  'password'  =&gt; 'password',
  'charset'   =&gt; 'utf8',
  'collation' =&gt; 'utf8_unicode_ci',
  'prefix'    =&gt; 'false',
  ),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I use queries from eloquent, my texts which have accents are broken. It's not a problem from blade because I can write accent in the views correctly, and if I use PDO directly my text is nice.</p>
  
  <p>How can I solve my problem with my queries from eloquent ? </p>
