Currenly in oracle I am using NVARCHAR datatype to store the Arabic chars. How do I incorporate the same functionality in mysql ? I have tried a sample servlet/jsp to insert the arabic chars into mysql by creating a table having two columns of NATIONAL VARCHAR type, but it's not displaying Arabic chars instead only questions marks are there. One more thing in sample example is that before inserting I am converting to UTF-8.
