Just the other day I had some strange issues with MySQL and unicode.
In some rare cases it cut of strings in Lao language. It was not an
issue with the field length, rather a certain combinations of
characters. First I though I had an issue with my view, but some
trouble shooting I realized that it must be an issue with MySQL. I
have now replaced MySQL with Postgres and it works fine with Lao
language (as far as I can tell).

best,
Joakim
