Many thanks, Tim. I don't know to what use they intend to put the strings which they are storing, but I'll pass on this information to the developers with the question.
Thanks again,

There isn't "support" for it prior to that. But you absolutely can store and retrieve UTF8 with no problems in pre-4.1 versions. The only problems are functions like UpperCase and sorting facilities will likely behave inconsistently with respect to your expectations.
Here we used 3.x and 4.1 (original Windows-binary release version, ie., preUTF8) and they worked beautifully (but we never used the collation/sorting of MySQL against the text fields.

*I* understand that Unicode utf8 support does not happen until version 4.1 (I can read the manual), but there are some in the office who are skeptical and somehow believe that there is support for it in earlier versions (as early as 3.23, according to them).
To set all of our minds at ease, could someone else please confirm or deny for me that MySQL does not support utf8 prior to version 4.1? I don't believe I'm wrong in this case, but if I am I would very much like to know.
Many thanks,
