Unicode support in MySQL

[system]

could the Unicode support for MySQL be turned on? I've posted a few times with non-ASCII characters, like ? (infinity symbol), and they get garbled when the posting is displayed.

TIA

Code: Select all

daniels@ephemera:~% ztcp melbournebeats.com 80
daniels@ephemera:~% fd=$REPLY
daniels@ephemera:~% printf 'GET /forum/viewtopic.php?t=3613&highlight= HTTP/1.0\n\n\n' >&$fd
daniels@ephemera:~% egrep -i '(8859|utf)' <&$fd
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
daniels@ephemera:~% ztcp -c $fd
daniels@ephemera:~%

looks like phpbb would need to be kicked to fix its encoding, too ...
