(The above example includes codepoints above 127, so requireds
multi-byte sequences in UTF-8. However, the string is still in
"UCS-1": all codepoints are <255.)

// vim: set encoding=utf8:


mysql 4.1+ unicode support:

you have UTF8 data stored in VARCHAR columns where the column character set != utf8. i.e. data imported from pre-4.1 or data created by applications which don't use mysql's unicode support but store proper utf8. you want to set the proper character set for the column?

ALTER TABLE tbl MODIFY col BINARY(255);
ALTER TABLE tbl Table MODIFY col VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8;


source: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/4.1/unicode.html

to convert data from such a column in a query:

CONVERT(CONVERT(col USING binary) USING utf8)
