Subject: Special Characters
Hello,
we are in the process of setting up a database with members data and
other info.
We'll need to enter names with special characters, i.e:
apostrophes: O'Rourke
tildes: Magglio Ordóñez
titlo: Anaïs
hyphen: Chun-Myers
Is there some special table setup required, collation or storage engine,
in
order to enter data like this or can this be handled with our
programming, Perl?
Where using MySQL 5.0.51
[JS] For the most flexibility, I suggest you use utf8_general_ci as the
default for your entire database. That's what we use, and it will swallow
just about anything (including Chinese).
