SV: SV: Bug in MySQL code?

[Lars Skjærlund]

Well - if you don't use Unicode, I wouldn't expect you to have any problems with Unicode. :-)

Reverting to use ASCII characters only might be an option for English-speaking people - but we're Danish and have some interesting letters in our alphabet: For us, avoiding Unicode-characters is not an option - if Kallithea cannot handle it, we will stop using Kallithea and find another software that's a bit more up-to-date.

The problem is increased for us as we're using Active Directory for access management: Kallithea fetches usernames from AD - and those usernames are, of course, using Unicode and have a healthy selection of the special Danish letters. Renaming all our 250+ users to ASCII characters for the benefit of Kallithea isn't an option.

After all, Microsoft has been using Unicode in Active Directory - and Windows - for more than 20 years - why should we still have to fight these problems today?

This is probably no help at all, but we've been using kallithea with MySQL since before it was called kallithea with no problems.

However we also all have ascii names and don't really use unicode in comments or anything either, so I would lean that way if you are having problems.
