MySQL List,
        At my request, my virtual hosting service has upgraded to MySQL
4.0.18 so that I can have better UTF-8 character support. Full Unicode
support is important to me as I do bilingual Japanese/English sites. My
understanding is that in 4.0.18 I can specify that a TEXT field is
specifically in UTF-8, or other encodings if I desire.
        However, usually I use phpMyAdmin to manage my database, and in
the version that I'm running - 2.5.5, it doesn't seem to have any
special selectors or anything to indicate the character encoding of any
one field or column.
        My question is, do I have to step outside of phpMyAdmin to
ensure that the correct encoding is being used? If I do so, will that
affect future database management from within phpMyAdmin?

        Any advice would be much appreciated.
