I hesitate to say which one to do. Suggest you run some tests...

1. find some rows with accents in them
2. create a table with the _same_ schema; copy the rows into them (INSERT ... SELECT)
3. Try one of the conversions on that table
4. Check the results -- now length and char_length should be different, and should differ by the appropriate amount. Fetch the rows in you application; see if they look right.

Repeat for the other conversion.
