Hi,

My database is configured with --enable-multibyte.  I thought this is
what I needed to be able to store Chinese Characters.  Is this a correct
assumption?  Anyhow, when I tried to write to the database with Chinese
content, the content becomes jibberish.  Do I need to enable unicode
conversion?  If that's the case, can I just run configure with
--enable-unicode-conversion on my current database without any side
effect on my data?

Thanks
-Jeff
