For ages I've been trying to get Cake (well, my website!) to allow me to enter text in Hebrew, and to save it properly and so on. I was getting really confused, but it turned out to be fairly simple - just setting the encoding to UTF-8. This piece was the final piece of the puzzle - storing the data in mySQL. Thank yuo!
