Well, yes, but what exactly are you trying to do?
On the server, Unicode data in tables is stored as UTF-16, not UTF-8. Only characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (up to U+FFFF) are
supported.
Most of the client programs will support UTF-8. For instance, you can feed FastLoad or MultiLoad a stream of UTF-8 data and they will load it,
SQL Assistant can retrieve data from the server in UTF-8 form and display the appropriate Unicode characters, and so on. Consult the manual for
each client program.
