Tino, Thanks for the information. I already have a database with SQL_ASCII encoding. Is there any way that I can change the encoding to UNICODE.

Although you could define your own type, you can use the database with UNICODE encoding (during creation) then all text/char fields are utf8 This works pretty well for all languages. Hoever there are also different encodings available, I dont know how it is with chinese or such. But probably its mapped internally to utf8 anyway.
