Say
SELECT name,HEX(name) FROM test ORDER BY name;
If the result looks like this:
+---------+----------------+
| name | hex(name) |
+---------+----------------+
| Adam | 4164616D |
| Ärland | C384726C616E64 |
| Åke | C3856B65 |
| Östen | C3967374656E |
| Carl | 4361726C |
| Martin | 4D617274696E |
| Sven | 5376656E |
+---------+----------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
... Those are UTF-8 values, as
you'll notice from the fact that
non-ASCII characters take 2 bytes.
That can happen in a variety of ways.
For example, one can cut and paste
from a Unicode editor to a Unicode
shell, while claiming the client is
latin1.
