Unfortunately, MySQL 5 addresses this issue only half-heartedly as it
seems to me, I don't know which version I have exactly, but in my
version at least Unicode does not really seem to work. The system
somehow can only handle iso-8859-1 and changes my UTF-8 characters to
_°_ and such. When giving out the word list in HTML, I can specify
that this should be reencoded to UTF-8 with HTML's meta-tags. On the
other hand, it may be just because I have WinXP and not Linux.
Yours,
Carsten
