Subject: Regarding storing non-english chars in mysql

Dear all,

I have a problem in migrating a GUI app(displays multi lingual data like 
Arabic) which currently uses oracle as backend db to mysql (5.1). 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.

Regards,
Ningappa Koneri
