Hi, thank you for your answere. > Is the client application using a unicode font that > supports the characters > you're using? Most fonts only support a subset of > unicode characters. > Are you using MySQL 4.1.1? The failure is not in the client, but the mysql server cannot store the characters. I am using Windows XP and MySQL 4.0.17-nt. When I use the Windows IME within the MySQL Control Center (MyCC) to store a Japanese character into the database, the MyCC shows me the correct character unless I close the table window. When I open it again, the content of the field is "???". > Do a "SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM vocab;" to be sure that > the columns are using > utf8.
The output shows me nothing, that the columns use utf8. But I even do not know if Unicode is the correct code. I did not have to deal with different character sets until now. I hope that the new information can help you to help me ;-) Ciao Keitaro __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
