1.  Default character set is Latin1

2.  Default sorting is SWEDISH.

3.  Converting a column or table to UTF8 encoding has no
     effect on the actual content of said column or table,
     instead replacing non-ASCII characters with random
     garbage at will.


Still, I can use an inbuilt function to translate material
between character sets, right?

Oh, wait.


4.  MySQL contains no tools to convert the contents of a
     table between charsets.


Wankers.
