storing it as?

Right but 4.1.1 is alpha. Not only that but I had trouble with it as it has
bugs in this area and I wasn't running the latest nightly and since this is
for a website which will be deployed it's unwise to use a version that I
won't be able to find a webhost running.

What is NAS? I have heard of people using Blobs to store unicode but I have
no idea how to do this.
