Yes, but the binary encoding doesn't use MySQL's UTF-8 support. It stores the UTF-8 as binary data, so it can store non-BMP characters even though MySQL's utf8 encoding can't. MySQL 5.5 is planned to add a utf8mb4 encoding that will support all of Unicode. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
