MySQL 5.5 utf8 trouble

I've done all the things that worked on previous versions of MySQL (and new to MySQL 5.5) to set utf8 encoding. Now I have output of

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE '%char%';

exactly what I wanted:

+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8                       |
| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                     |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+

And that cmds in [mysqld]:

collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server = utf8

In [client] and [mysql]:

default-character-set= utf8

But default table encoding in creating is still latin1! Am I missed some other things with MySQL 5.5 to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

Default table encoding equals to the current database encoding.

You can check it with

SHOW CREATE DATABASE dbname;

PS: it's a good practice to always specify encoding explicitly. That way you won't rely on server settings.
