You don't even want to know the hack I had to implement to get non-BMP characters stored in MySQL 5.1 'utf8' column.

- pjscott 14y agoThat's exactly why I use the default ISO-8859-1 encoding for all my MySQL tables, try to only stick ASCII into it, and store any Unicode text as binary UTF-8, encoded client-side. It's stupid and shouldn't be necessary, but at least MySQL can't screw it up.
