Dear all, 

Sorry if I post in the wrong list, but I've been tortured by the
problem for quite sometime.

I've been tring for several combinations, say

BACKEND     			FRONTEND

MULE_INTERNAL 		EUC_TW
				BIG5
				EUC_LATIN1
EUC_TW			EUC_TW
				BIG5
				EUC_JP
......
.....

None of them can use varchar as fields, and insert "ï¿½\" into the row.
Can anyone help?

Thanks
Dave

What is "ï¿½\" anyway? Is this a valid member of BIG5 or EUC_TW or
whatver?

BTW, there is no such an encoding EUC_LATIN1.
