If I recall correctly MySQL did not add Unicode support until 4.1
Corn - yes, my documentation confirms that.
However MySQL will import Tab delimited files and, as Biti mentioned, FMP supports UTF-8 encoding for Tab export
Looks like that only came in with 8.5, unless anyone can tell me how to make it appear in 8.0.
If you can deploy on MySQL 4.1 or later you might be in luck
No, I don't have sufficient influence to get a MySQL update on the target server.
You may still be okay. Even without UCS support you can store the data in MySQL and retrieve it with PHP just as long as you don't manipulate it with either and leave it to the web browser to display (remember to set the content type _header_ for the HTML output to UTF-8)
Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. This reduces the number of blind alleys I'm likely to run up.
