a blab by idle

Okay. The web server encoding is utf8. The default MT character set is utf8. The database default character set is utf8. Now, the server and connection default charactersets are even utf8. And yet, though I can hand-insert kana into the database, and cleanly input and preview kana in a blog comment, any communication between MT 3.121 and MySQL 4.1.7 seems to mangle multibyte Unicode.

So close. And yet so far away.
