Yes, storing is not problem at all. MySQL can store any data without
loss in binary fields. Problem is on sorting, upper->lower conversions
and fulltext search. We do not have any chinese sorting as much I know,
there is no such things like "upper" and "lower" case charactes in
chinese languages and fulltext search doesn't work as chinese languages
do not use spaces nor any other separator between words :(
I am sitting here in Hong Kong and one of my targets is to get MySQL
support both traditional and simplified chinese but as far I can see
there is a huge technical problems.
