is mysql version of tdk support UTF-8

[fanyun]

Hi:

I am now using tdk 1.1a13.  

I set the TR.pro...  as below


services.TurbineVelocityService.template.encoding=UTF-8

locale.default.charset=UTF-8


I find everything works fine.

But when I input Chinese character in a form, then store it to mysql database, i find 
all the information saved is in a mass.


My code is like this:

String  a = para.getString("inputa");

crit.add(APeer.A,  a);

APeer.doInsert(crit);

.....

The data field I used is varchar.



Has anyone met this problem also?  Or mysql do not support unicode?


Regards
