imho, UTF-8 is for its web-interface, not data representation in MySQL. most of favorite web browser support UTF-8. anyway, the actual data representation of UTF-8 is just ASCII (UTF-8 use only char in range of 0x00..0x7F). and MySQL do support ASCII. so MySQL can kept UTF-8 data, whether it understand UTF-8 or not :) Art :) --- luc <luc@ceres.dti.ne.jp> wrote:
Hi list,
Why does the phpMyAdmin need UTF-8 charset? MySQL does not support UTF-8 charset yet, doesn't it?
