You configured your database with a cyrillic alphabet. The error
message just means that ü (u umlaut) does not exist in this cyrillic
alphabet, you cannot write this character in cyrillic. This is NOT an
encoding issue, it's a charset issue: this character does not exist in
this charset, so there is no way you can insert it, whatever the
encoding(s).

You'll easily find more detailed explanations if you search the web.
