Karl Vollmer commented on VCL-803:
----------------------------------
https://github.com/ampache/ampache/blob/develop/lib/class/dba.class.php - has a
function for translating from "public" charset name to mysql charset name, and
then completely resetting the entire database to the desired charset.
Some people don't want to use Unicode for various reasons, primarily
Japenese/russian users in my experience, so the above function was created to
allow folks to on the fly switch to their desired charset
> Full Unicode support for all fields for internationalization
