It may just be storing a sequence of bytes. (You can check by using
SQL functions like LENGTH() and SUBSTRING() on it.)

Probably yes, but as long as i don't do any manipulation in the database
like selecting on strings or sorting, it shouldn't matter, right? As long as
the app that retrieves it from the database can work with utf.

Yes. So long as you're happy with that situation.
