utf-8 uuid varbinary

I'm generating my own 32-character UUID (ver. 4, w/o dashes) primary keys in PHP5.x. The InnoDB, tables and columns are all utf-8. Somewhere I read that I should be able to store the UUID as varbinary(16), however, unless I set the primary key column to varbinary(64), it truncates the UUID on insert. I'm assuming this is happening because utf-8 characters are double-byte.

When using self-generated UUID's, what should my column datatypes actually be for optimum speed and flexibility within the InnoDB?
