How to save Unicode data to mysql database?

Dear All, I need to handle non-latin code. But encountered an error looking like: "Data too long for column 'user_name' at row 1" The username is: user_name = u'frank' The database is mysql 5.0. I didn't find anything useful via google. Is this a known issue in Django? How to fix it? Thank
