RedBeanPHP没有正确保存字符串，从重音元音开始跳过

I'm trying to save some simple PHP objects using RedBeanPHP. It works fine, except that on string fields, it reaches a point where there is an accented vowel, ie á or 'í' and just skips the rest of the remaining characters in the string.

Example:

// Actual string in PHP script.
Esta es una frase mía y me gusta!

// Saved to database.
Esta es una frase m

Here's my PHP script:

// Setup RedBean to work with a database.
R::setup('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=noticias','root','');

foreach($parsedNews as &$tmpNews) {
    $noticia = R::dispense('noticia');
    $noticia->imagen = $tmpNews->get_image();
    $noticia->fecha = $tmpNews->get_fechanoticia();
    $noticia->titulo = $tmpNews->get_title();
    $noticia->url = $tmpNews->get_sourceurl();
    $noticia->descripcion = $tmpNews->get_description(); 
    $id = R::store($noticia);  
}

Set your database table collations to UTF-8. (utf8-unicode-ci is probably what you want).

I think the correct answer is that the source encoding is not actually UTF8.

 $bean->property = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", "Esta es una frase mía y me gusta!");
