Hi Daniel, I apologise on my ignorance on the matter of Romanian being a Cyrillic, my English is bad enough, any comment I make about languages should be ignored ;-)
On the matter of Japanese symbols I'm puzzled; something must be altering the character code somehow on the way to being inserted into the database. Does anyone have any experience in dealing with inserting Japanese symbols in MySQL 4.1 via PHP5?

I'm replying only to you because this issue is not related to the discussion list in any way and there's no point in me saying this out loud. It is up to you to correct this statement that will remain in the public archives if you so wish to. Romania is one of the most latin countries in the world and it is in fact a latin "island" surrounded by all the other eastern european countries which have all either slavic or cyrillic based languages. The romanian language has a full latin alphabet with only 3 letters being responsible for it not being represented by the most "standard" character set, the ISO Latin 1. Its character set is however the ISO Latin 2 though the language can be written using the first set without any problems of representation or understanding. I hope this aparté can shed a little more light on this matter even though it doesn't help you much with your original predicament ;-) Cheers, Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Gallagher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 5:15 PM Subject: RE: MySQL 4.1.8 and storing east characters > Japanese AND Cyrillic based languages such as Romania is still messing up. > > - "The Greek and Cyrillic looked ok to me" - > > Unfortunately they are not, some characters are also being given the wrong > UTF-8 char code, resulting in the dreaded question marks :-(. > > - "The web browser doesn't have a Japanese font" - > > This is definitely not the problem.
