I can't tell you definitively because I am barely hanging on by a
thread when it come to understanding LC's usage of unicode...
After a GREAT deal of poking around on this list, other forums
and Google, this is what I've come up with to retrieve UTF8 from
mySQL. In my case, my mySQL field names are also UTF8 (Japanese)
so I'm not sure if my problems were due to that or to simply
retrieving UTF8 data.
Here is my basic script:
--magic command for UTF8/mySQL, from forum user "bancock
--without this I cannot send or receive UTF8 from mySQL
-- vDatabaseID is of course the id number returned when you
successfully
--connect to the database
--I issue this command at the top of every script that retrieves
data from mySQL
revExecuteSQL vDatabaseID, "SET NAMES 'utf8'"
--fld "query" contains SQL query, English & Japanese text, since
LC's lame
--editor will not let me type in UTF8/Japanese words
put the unicodeText of field "query" into locSQLParams
put uniDecode(locSQLParams, "UTF8") into locSQLParams
--fld "queryresults" holds data returned by mySQL
--Works great; get a field that holds the returned English and
Japanese
set the unicodetext of fld queryresults to
uniEncode(myResult, "UTF8")
You'll need to figure out your own chunking and parsing from here....
As I recall, "put" caused grief, so I've ended up using "set" --
see if that works for you first. Then, try the "magic command"
which I found on a forum; though this might only be needed if you
have UTF8 field names?
Good Luck

put item theItem of thisLine into theIndexNameset the unicodeText of fld 1 of group count of group
"setGroup" to uniEncode(theIndexName,"UTF-8")
anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
