My preference, if possible, would be to get MySQL to
fix their Unicode
support to allow for either storage of full UTF-8 or proper
transformation of UTF-8 to UTF-16. UCS-2 collation with UTF-16
conversion semantics would be "good enough" for us, I think, and avoids
the 4-byte-per-character index bloat of extending the UTF-8 support.
