I'm not an expert on this, as PHP's native support for utf-8 has
always been enough for me.
But answers to the following might be helpful in troubleshooting:

Are you, in fact, using multibyte characters? What characterset?

Was your previous version of PHP compiled with mbstring enabled? Are
you using the same ini file?
