Hi Alfred,

i'm currently going through migrating from latin1 to utf-8 at the moment and believe me... its a nightmare. In my opinion, set everything to utf-8 from the start. That includes PHP, Apache, the meta tags of you webpages... absolutely everything.

Have a read of this. http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/01/turning_mysql_data_in_latin1_t.html
Its very much along the lines of the technologies you are looking to employ. Have a read of the comments at the end (particularly the comment by JamesRyan). It states exactly what you need to do to be unicode compliant at all levels.

hope it helps.

Yemz
