title: MySQL: Can I have multiple character sets for 1 column?
body: <p>I have a table for translations. This table has a <code>locale</code> column, and a <code>name</code> column that could either be a string of english characters or chinese characters. Is it possible to have both UTF-8 and GBK (the character set for chinese characters) for one column / table? If so, how would I update my existing table?</p>
