do man mysqld and look for the charset settings. The mysql manual also addresses this issues. I think that in mysql 4.x you can also define charset per table, but I'm not sure.
According to the MySQL roadmap presented at LCA2004, MySQL 4.0 adds support for
UTF-8 and 4.1 will support chacater-set per-column.
I think you can see this also in http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Nutshell_4.1_features.html
I can't find the LCA2004 lectures online right now. I just remember that I got out of this
lecture pretty disappointed from MySQL, compared to what you already have in PostgresQL,
for instance (e.g. stored procedures won't be in before MySQL 5).
I'm not a MySQL/PostgresQL expert, I just echo what I've seen from the sidelines.
