Why not give it a try first? I'm pretty sure I've stored characters like that in
MySQL with no special configuration. If you can't get it to work or you're asking
b/c you don't have MySQL and are thinking about using it, please check the MySQL
mailing list archives or ask on the MySQL list itself. You can find links to both on
www.mysql.com. They'll know better than anyone. Also check the manual on that site
for "SET". There's an option to SET the character set as needed so if it doesn't
work out of the box, you may have to set the proper character set. You may even have
to install it.
