polish signs in mysql db

[oll3i]

i have created a database with latin2 charset and latin2_general_ci collation
i also tried utf8 and utf8_polish_ci collation but i get an error
mysql> INSERT INTO `candidate_provinces` VALUES(1, 'dolnośląskie');
ERROR 1366 (HY000): Incorrect string value: '\x98l\xA5ski...' for column 'provin
ce' at row 1
when i insert some words with polish diacritic characters

THANK YOU
