Sam Ruby: Sometimes the dragon wins. Not here: ɥɦɐ. And you can search for it.
My dirty little secret, however, is that I'm storing everything in MySQL in fields declared to be encoded in latin1, storing UTF-8 in there anyway, and trusting the browser to get Unicode right. I've tried storing everything in Unicode-encoded fields in MySQL, but it mangled some of the rarer characters when I tried to convert this post once my host upgraded to MySQL 4.0 or 4.1 (whichever one first supported Unicode fields). Some characters worked, some didn't. My only guess is that MySQL only handled an older version of Unicode and stripped everything it didn't understand.
