Even though pdo_mysql accepts an additional "charset" parameter in the DSN (see mysql_driver.c:442), as of PHP 5.2.9 it does not do anything with it.
A possible workaround to set the charset to UTF-8, for example, could be:
<?php
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:$connstr", $user, $password);
$dbh -> exec("set names utf8");
?>

PDO_MYSQL DSN — MySQL データベースに接続する
説明
PDO_MYSQL データソース名 (DSN) は以下の要素で構成されます。
- DSN 接頭辞
-
DSN 接頭辞は
mysql:です。 - host
-
データベースサーバが存在するホスト名を指定します。
- port
-
データベースサーバが待機しているポートを指定します。
- dbname
-
データベース名を指定します。
- unix_socket
-
MySQL の unix ソケットを指定します (host あるいは port と同時に使用することはできません)。
例
例1 PDO_MYSQL DSN の例
以下の例は、MySQL データベースに接続するための PDO_MYSQL DSN を表します。
mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb
より完全な例は、このようになります。
mysql:host=localhost;port=3307;dbname=testdb mysql:unix_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock;dbname=testdb

Here is a function that provides a generic interface to connect
to a mySQL PDO. This takes care of the default values automatically
and deals with the difference between a host name and a socket path.
The advantage of using LOCALHOST for the default is that you don't have
to worry about IPv4 vs IPv6. But keep in mind that mySQL login security
does not treat the name as being interchangeable with the ip address.
You could of course change the default to use a socket path instead.
Enjoy!

P.S. This form forces you to limit the length of your lines, so I had to
split a couple of things.
<?php
//pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
//
// Creates a new mySQL database connection
//
// Returns a PDO object or an error message
// Use: is_object() to verify the result
//
//
// If $DBHost starts with a '/' then it is treated as a Socket
//
// if $DBHost is empty it will default to LOCALHOST which is NOT the
// same as 127.0.0.1
//
// $DBPort is optional and will use the standard mySQL default if not
// specified
//
// The database name ($DBName) is optional, but if it is specified
// it must exist or an error results

I have tested this and found that the "dbname" field is optional. Which is a good thing if you must first create the db.
After creating a db be sure to exec a "use dbname;" command, or else use fully specified table references.
