I use mysql with japanese -sjis text (i think it also handles -euc and
perhaps others, including Korean) with no problem for inserting and
searching. However, to have it sort it the Japanese or Korean way, you
should take a look at the following 2 references:

I am using mysql to store content that will contain double-byte (korean,
japanese) language text -- What is it that I need to specify when inserting
that type of text (if anything) and how do I retrieve it? I am writing in
Java using JDBC to a mySQL database.
Thanks,
