I need to do this because I need to store Unicode Characters in a MySQL

Is there any different solution to my prob? Maybe I dont need to convert
the

chars.. Is there a way to instruct a MySQL database to accept unice
characters?
This isn't the right list for this, but you should read:

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Charset.html

And follow up on php-general if you have more questions.
