Hello,

I have a table with the following column among others:

text VARCHAR(120) CHARACTER SET utf8

The provider I am using however only offers MySQL version 3.23.58,
so I cannot use this statement. At first I thought I was not going
to be able to store UTF8. So I changed the column to the following:

text VARCHAR(120)

However, when I submit data from a web interface, much to my 
surprise, I was able to store some Chinese characters, which
no doubt take up two bytes in UTF8.

Great!!!

Can anyone explain why this is and what
exactly is going on under the hood?

Just curious,

Thanks,

Neil
