Обсуждение: can't insert "³\" as varchar in 7.0.2 and 7.1

Dear all,

Sorry if I post in the wrong list, but I've been tortured by the
problem for quite sometime.

I've been tring for several combinations, say

BACKEND                 FRONTEND

MULE_INTERNAL         EUC_TW
                BIG5
                EUC_LATIN1
EUC_TW            EUC_TW
                BIG5
                EUC_JP
......
.....

None of them can use varchar as fields, and insert "³\" into the row.
Can anyone help?

Thanks
Dave

What is "³\" anyway? Is this a valid member of BIG5 or EUC_TW or
whatver?

BTW, there is no such an encoding EUC_LATIN1.
