It is possible to run multiple languages on one database without using UTF-8, however to do so you need to use a charset that supports all languages.
As for your site which needs english and russian you can use the koi8-r charset, it contains bother (basic) latin and cyrillic characters.

The unicode characters 1050 and 1086 can be found on this page:

I also looked in the share/codepages/ko8-r file and the characters are present there (in hex).

Thanks Jan, only just found this response. (the forums should auto notify the authour of a forums thread IMHO)

I actually moved to MySQL 4.1 as I thought I had no other choice. So going through a little pain with upgrading our 2.2 sites at the moment. I have noticed that the share/codepages/utf-8 file is missing in the 3.2-3 release though. Does one exist I can download somewhere?

Online Editor and UTF-8, it works:
The Online Editor did not load, because the JavaScript file ezeditor.js is not an unicode file.
You have to save the file extension/ezdhtml/design/standard/javascripts/ezdhtml/ezeditor.js
with the normal windows editor as an utf-8 file (doing so with File->Save As->Coding: select utf-8)

After that I uploaded this file to the linux system via ftp and it worked!

At first I was confused what you meant by windows editor, then I realised even notepad was sufficient. You were correct of course and now it works fine!

Thanks so much Andreas.

btw, I still get the error, share/codepages/utf-8 is missing but it doesn't seem to stop anything working?
