Hi All,

How would I let MySQL search for words starting with a 'strange' character ?

SELECT name FROM table WHERE name LIKE 'A%'

returns all the names that start with an A. (duh)

SELECT name FROM table WHERE name LIKE 'Å%'

returns all the names that start with an Å. (good)

SELECT name FROM table WHERE name LIKE 'À%'

returns all the names that start with an A. (strange)

Is there a way to get consistent results ? ie seaching for an À should give me an À and not an A ??

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

greetings Highlander
