Hi Ron, you should use

CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci

in your table for a wide option of languages.

Example:

CREATE TABLE  `t_my_table` (
  `row_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `row_name` varchar(64) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

Cheers.

My fault.  Force of habit mentioning the php-db@ list.  Sorry if
there was any confusion on that.

In any case, you'll probably get exactly the answer you're trying
to find on the MySQL list.  Quite possibly quicker there than the
php-db@ list as well.

I failed to mention in my original e-mail the database is mySQL.

   You need to ask on a database list.  If it's MySQL, blast it to
my...@lists.mysql.com, or - regardless of database - you can send it
to php...@lists.php.net.

You need to ask on a database list.  If it's MySQL, blast it to
my...@lists.mysql.com, or - regardless of database - you can send it
to php...@lists.php.net.
