How I can save both japanese and english characters, in my text box?

#1

I will try to explain you what is my trouble:

I am not be able to write in my database using asian characters:
1) メッセージ
2) 제외하고
3) анить пароль
4) etc.. .. ..

I have a trouble using in my database asian characters.

When I copy and past them on my forum, I see that:
1) åˆ†å¯¾
2) Ÿã˜ã¾ã›
3) ‚¹ã«ãƒ•ã‚©ãƒ¼ãƒ

I think that I have to set up my mysql in a different way.

I would like to know that:

How I have to do for saving both european characters and asian characters?
What version of mysql I have to use?
What are the character_set and the collation that I have to use ?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Hi Hiran,

I use mysql, but only the version 4.1 supports the unicode, but it is
still in alpha test!
So I prefer not to use unicode but an encoding sistem.

So, Were I can find an encoding sistem for mysql? What I have to do
technically?

Finally, some functions like sorting will no longer work as expected.
What is sorting? And what are the other important function that won't

work as expected?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions,
Simon
