Confluence Docs 3.0 : MySQL 3.x Character Encoding Problems This page last changed on May 15, 2008 by edawson. MySQL 3.x is known to have some problems upper- and lower-casing certain (non-ASCII) characters. ### Diagnosing the problem Follow the instructions for Troubleshooting Character Encodings. If the upper- and lower-cased strings displayed on the Encoding Test are different, then your database is probably affected. An example (faulty) output of the Encoding Test is shown below: Screenshot: Encoding Test Output ### Solution Upgrade to a newer version of MySQL. (4.1 is confirmed to work.)
