--- Comment #13 from [email protected] ---
I have now found a way to make this work.  I still believe there is a bug
somewhere, but there is a workaround.

First, I tried to enter other 16 bit characters - none worked from x0100 up. 

I then found (on the web) that the JDBC connection string includes a
characterEncoding parameter.  

I tried changing the 'Data conversion Character set' on the LO Database
Connection setting from 'System' to 'UTF-8'.  MySQL(JDBC) then worked.

However, to understand why this doesn't seem right, my Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
system fonts display such characters correctly, without problem.  So a default
'Data conversion Character set' of 'System' should work should it not?

MySql(Native) works in either case.  I also note that changing the 'Data
conversion Character set' for Mysql(JDBC) changes it on the MySQL(Native)
database connection page as well, but to no effect for the options System and
UTF-8.

I do not know whether the problem lies in LO in the information given to the
JDBC client, the JDBC client itself, or the JDBC server.  I'm pretty sure it
isn't an ubuntu issue since the problem exists on Windows.  My ubuntu system
fonts are all Deja Vu (except the mono font).

However, at least I can now use JDBC when Mysql(Native) disappears (support is
rather variable).

It would be useful if those that have tried to help me (for which many thanks)
could report what character set option is showing in their database
connections.
