Um, no... I suggest you do some reading. UTF8 is a variable width
encoding and it's perfectly good
for multilingual databases. All unicode characters can be
represented in UTF8 (as well as in UTF-16).
The main difference between them is that UTF8 is more compact (i.e.
will use a single byte
when possible whereas UTF16 is 2-byte minimum). Both are 4 Byte max.

Hi,
UTF-8 is 8 bit code.
Unicode ist 16 and it includes all the chars we know today over all
the
world.
If you want to write arabic , ascii, german, French and etc... in
your db.
Use unicode. the UTF-8 do not include all these chars in one
see this for more information about :
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/csettables.html
Attention that you can set the encoding in the DB, java as well as
the
brwoser.
and all must fit together for good results.
Sako.

UTF-8 is not enugh for db. at least not for arabic (i tested it
under
ms-sql). use Unicode.
I'm curious about the above statement. UTF-8 is just an encoding
format
for Unicode so what do you consider to be the difference between the
two? The reason I care is that I'm sure the multilingual sites I
work
with will eventually ask for RTL Arabic and/or Hebrew support.
