I ran mysqld with arguments --default-character-set=utf8 and --default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci, and created a table with no collation specification. I didn't test specifically with ç, but e and e-acute were equivalent. For me this is was problem, but it sounds like for you it's the desired behavior.

I would like to do a query such as: SELECT title FROM books WHERE title LIKE '%Francais%'; And in return get: +----------+ | title | +----------+ | Français | +----------+ Does the "CHARACTER SET utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci" allow for this? How would one set the collation of international characters with english characters for searching?
