Hi Silver
I've never tried changing character sets myself but you did download the
right version and I mean source not binaries of 3.23.32?
You know you can also get away with using the default charset as Chinese
chars are sorted in ASCII anyway. Only problem is, you need a Chinese front
end to be able to enter Chinese characters. My DB server is an English OS
with mysql set to the default charset, yet users are still able to enter and
view Chinese characters without any problem. From a front end only, that is.
