Hii there,

I have a table containing cities of the world. Now I am running into
problems because people are starting to complain that some mayor cities are
not in the db like Tokyo. After checking my table I discovered that there
lots of cities are written with some non latin characters.

Tokyo is written like this: Tðkyð

Should, and if how, I convert this characters into latin ones. And what
happens if somebody from Japan with a different keyboard tries to find
Tokyo? Anyway what type of character is this 'ð' anyway? It does not look
Japanese to me :-)

I also heard, that it is possible to compile mysql with only a latin char
set.
Would this be helpful for me?


Thank you for any help on that,

Andy
