[thelist] [the list] Mysql/Xml schema for storing words

[Dejan Kozina]

Utf-8 is a supported character set since 4.1 
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/charset-unicode.html), so you have to 
check the server version or use SHOW CHARACTER SET.
That said, I've stored data in MySQL 4.0 and 3.x with PHP and generally 
had no issues, as I did never really care about collation (correct 
localized alphabetical order). If all you care about is storing and 
retrieving strings you'll get back what you put in it, no matter the 
charset...
