Take a look at such character sets as gbk, gb2312, big5. How to set up new character set read at: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/h/Character_sets.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/u/Multi-byte_characters.html Currently you can run mysqld only with one charset. so, if you want to use another charset you should restart MySQL server or start another instance of mysqld.
