I've been trying to search the archives but can't seem to find the right
answers anywhere.

I'm building a database containing ranges of characters. That means i'm
supposed to check if t.ex. 'Sveen' is between 'Sv' and 'R'. This works ok
for non norwegian characters, but when these show up the results are
wrong. (æ ø å if anyone can see them)

Been experimenting with Encoding settings when creating a database but
can't seem to get this right. Been trying LATIN1 through LATIN5. Are there
any other encodings? Am i looking in the right place?

Using redhat 6.2 and 7.0.3-1 rpms.

Thanks,
Anders,
