FreeTDS: How to set charset of parameters running

Question

I have a C program connecting to a MSSQL database through FreeTDS.

I'm trying to execute a stored procedure with a varchar parameter set to something like "Saída Liberada", but it's being stored with strange characters in MS SQL, as the screenshot above:

Here is my freetds.conf:

#   $Id: freetds.conf,v 1.12 2007/12/25 06:02:36 jklowden Exp $
#
# This file is installed by FreeTDS if no file by the same
# name is found in the installation directory.
#
# For information about the layout of this file and its settings,
# see the freetds.conf manpage "man freetds.conf".

# Global settings are overridden by those in a database
# server specific section
[global]
        # TDS protocol version
        tds version = 8.0

        # Whether to write a TDSDUMP file for diagnostic purposes
        # (setting this to /tmp is insecure on a multi-user system)
        dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
;       debug flags = 0xffff

        # Command and connection timeouts
;       timeout = 10
;       connect timeout = 10

        # If you get out-of-memory errors, it may mean that your client
        # is trying to allocate a huge buffer for a TEXT field.
        # Try setting 'text size' to a more reasonable limit
        text size = 64512

        client charset = UTF-8

Here is parts of the tds dump file:

0080 47 45 52 27            -                        |GER'|

According to the freetds log, it's sending the character 'í' (i acute) as c3 ad, which means it's sending it as UTF-8 (LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE).

How can I setup the client or the server, so the string can be properly stored?

Update 2

Code to connect:

ret = SQLDriverConnect(db_msserver_dbc_handle,
    NULL,  "Driver={FreeTDS};Server=FooBar;Port=1433;Database=Foo;UID=sa;PWD=pwd@123;APP=XPTO;TDS_Version=8.0;",
    SQL_NTS, outstr, sizeof(outstr), &outstrlen,
    SQL_DRIVER_COMPLETE);

Answer 1

After a lot of attempts, I couldn't figure out why freetds.conf settings (client charset and tds version) are not being respected. At least, when I append TDS_Version=8.0;ClientCharset=UTF-8 into the connection string, it works!

"Driver={FreeTDS};Server=%s;Port=%s;Database=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s;APP=%s;TDS_Version=8.0;ClientCharset=UTF-8"

Also, the header of freetds log file is changed, mentioning UTF-8 conversion:
