You will need to change the default charset of ur mysql.

But to which set? I cant seem to find the right one, its available on real conquer so im hoping it is here. Or is there a way to change this to a flatfile sort of database

The client use the Windows-1252 charset. You should use the same charset everywhere as mixing charset may result to problems... UNICODE is identical to the ASCII charset, but the Windows-1252 is an extended ASCII charset... Some code point may return different character.

So, all your I/O, including files, database should use the Windows-1252 (CP1252) charset. By the way, MySQL's latin1 charset is badly named as it's Windows-1252... But, Windows-1252 is extended from the ISO 8859-1 charset that is also named latin1, so that make sense.

UNICODE for sure. But, to be fully compatible and based on the client capabilities, Windows-1252.

There is a chart on Wikipedia of all available characters of the Windows-1252 charset.
