I think I understand the differences between the 3 options. Also, looking at the installation instructions, it seems I was asked that before and probably just clicked "OK". I installed Mediawiki 3-4 years ago and have been upgrading since...so maybe back then I wasn't asked? I honestly don't remember... Is there a way to find out what it is set at? Since I've forced mysql to use UTF-8, I'm not sure if I've made a mistake...but since it's retrieving Japanese characters fine, it must be ok... I'm just concerned that I've broken something that will show up later on... Thanks a lot!
