I have a database that stores information in Japanese characters stored in a blob formatted fields. I am having trouble copying these fields from one database to another. I tried doing a mysqldump on the table and then copyng the Insert statement generated but that failed; the inserted filed had a number of escaped character designations; looked like some sort of ASCII code or something to that effect. Any ideas?
