And until we upgrade to that version. MySQL 4 doesn't have *any* Unicode support -- or any character encoding support, in fact. Every is binary. But we don't have to wait on MySQL. We would just have to store a Unicode sortkey in cl_sortkey instead of the actual Unicode characters. This would require an implementation of a Unicode sorting algorithm in MediaWiki. It could be language-specific or whatever you want. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
