I'm using MySQL 5 and putting in various unicode content. However the MySQL Query Browser doesn't display unicode properly. Is there an alternative query browser that supports unicode display?

Yes, it does.

just run sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin to install it and then point your browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Replace localhost with the IP address if the server is not your local computer.

You can do it the apt-get way, or you can get the most recent release from here.

If you choose the latter (preferred), follow this install guide here.
 
Very powerful and useful.

The only thing you might run into is you'd need to create a symlink from
/usr/share/phpmyadmin => /var/www/
(or whatever httpd root you have)

...because for me its not been creating that.

Seconding phpmyadmin. It's web-based but very powerful.

Thanks guys. I'll have to look into it. Maybe have it run on a separate VM server. I don't want to have extra services running on this one.

It's just apache.... you can tweak it to be very lightweight if you're the only person accessing it.

I do web dev on this machine. Sometimes I like to use port 80 and I don't want to remember a different port# for apache. I rather mess with a VM than my own machine. I may change my mind later.

Also, I was considering having it so other people could also use it. Having it on a VM running on another machine will make it so nobody will be affected if I reboot or shutdown.
