What Characters Are These?

I have some Chinese text in my MYSQL database. And when I export, I am getting random strings of gibberish despite outputting as UTF-8. I can't figure out the problem because I don't know what this character set is called. Can someone help identify what this string of random characters below is?

It's the string \u7f19\u4e91\u70e7\u997c (缙云烧饼) encoded in UTF-8 (as the bytes E7 BC 99 E4 BA 91 E7 83 A7 E9 A5 BC) but misinterpreted as Windows-1252.
