What client are you using to connect to the server? If its MyODBC 3.51 then that is your problem. It doesn't support unicode yet.
If you are using the mysql command line client try "select Hex(your_column) from your_table;" to see if the proper hex values are being inserted into the table. It will be easier to help you if you give us more specific problems you are having. best, Jeremy -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
