Hi David,
You may find my UC-2004 presentation useful as well as some UC-2003
presentations from Mr. Gulutzan and Mr. Barkov:
www.be-known-online.com/mysql
mysql.planetmirror.com/Downloads/Presentations/MySQL-User-Conference-2003/National-Character-Sets-and-Unicode.pdf
Basically the best guess would be the documentation that comes with your
download. Note that online documents at www.mysql.com are always a mixture of
several documentation versions really.
I am not 100% if this answer all of your questions, but at least in my
presentation you should find 90% of all the information you require.
Should you have any other question, please do not hesitate to ask me.
Best regards
Nils Valentin
