A confusing issue it is, and I've been coping with the same situation. My HTML pages and forms are set to use UTF-8, and users are inputting English, Greek, Japanese, Turkish, etc.
My MySQL default character set is still ISO-8859-1, but surprisingly, it all just works. Mostly. I was surprised to see that the garbled mess that Japanese appears to be in MySQL returned to the web display page just as it had been entered.
Fulltext index searching, however, seems to fail miserably with the Japanese text...it just plain doesn't work. No results returned ever. Anyone know anything about that?
Cheers,
spud.

Hello -
Sorry but I am confused by the manual. If I want to let a user enter internationalized input into a HTML-form and then store it in MySQL without loss and retrieve it back for displaying, how do I do this best?
Thanks
