Hi,

After spending about a week researching the use of hex [string] values I am still as lost as I was before.
What is the point of placing Unicode data into a column if I have to convert it when going both in and out? All the documentation I read on MySQL indicates it supports Unicode I cannot afford the high overhead of having to parse each piece of text every time I need to display it on a page.


Please I am lost!

To me it should be a simple task. Insert <65k of text in Unicode or even simple ASCII format into a column of type 'text' by using a GUI client like SQLyog or MySQLCC and then extract it when needed by my web page without loosing everything I put in after a certain character or character sequence.

So I have the following questions:
1] Does MySQL handle ASCII text above 128?
2] Does MySQL handle Unicode text?
3] how do I get it to work?

If so how (detailed instructions) do I store the information so it does not truncate?
