Re: Help! Languages and Characters....
The problem is that I dont want it case sensitive, but I do want it to distinguish special characters, any more ideas?

Help! Languages and Characters....
I have a mysql table (MySAM), a field in there is set to unique, however the field does not seem to recognise the difference between certain ascii characters, for example it things that multimedia and multimèdia are the same (I hope it is shown correctly) but basically it dos not recognise characters like an e with an acute accent to be different from a normal "e" Anyone know how I can fix this?
