hi mark, What happens if you explicitly specify the table character set to be 'utf-8'? (i.e. you're relying on the database default character set to take care of that for you right now)... 'CREATE TABLE foo CHARACTER SET utf8' the same. All I can say is that with the testcase I posted, it is shown

UTF-8 is just another encoding scheme. You can store UTF-8 just fine in MySQL (using BLOB, or perhaps even CHAR), however you cannot do much more with it beyond storing. Comparisons aren't likely to work, character-length calculations will not work, etc. So if all you wanna do is store and retri
