Reversing ENUM field with UTF-8 values fails

[kordianbruck]

Consider a MYSQL Enum field with following allowed values:

'Antarktika','Australien','Afrika','Nordamerika','Südamerika','Europa','Asien'

when running propel reverse on this it will fail with an exception:

Schema reverse engineering finished.

The outputed xml is incomplete and stops right at the 'ü' sign.

In case anyone's having similar problems, for me the solution was to append "charset=UTF8", resulting in the following command:

propel reverse 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=backup_2015-08-10;user=root;password=;charset=UTF8'

May I ask what is the underlying datatype the enum is represented as in the base class? My reverse command succeeds, but reading of data always returns null.
