I'm having trouble with character set changes on 4.0.18.

I have a database that contains text in multiple languages and I need to
be able to select the character set on the fly.

For some reason "SET CHARACTER SET x" always returns "Unknown character
set: 'x'". The only exception to this is "SET CHARACTER SET DEFAULT".

I know the character sets I'm trying are installed, even trying to set
the default by name does not appear to work.

Any suggestions?

What you're trying to do is not supported until 4.1.1:
