Japanese Text to MySQL DB with Win32Lib

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to deal with some multilanguage stuff for a small project I'm messing
with.

Basically I have a (Win32Lib) window with a RichEdit control in it.  A person
can type in Japanese here and I'd like to be able to get what they type either as
UTF8 data or converted to UTF8, to drop into a MySQL4.1 (UTF8 supported)
database.  The problem is I have no idea how to get the data back in a suitable
format.  Has anyone done anything like this?

I'd also like to be able to pull the UTF8 data from the DB and redisplay it in
the RichEdit control as well.

I've taken a look at the Multilingual stuff in the archives - but that's all
about displaying the Japanese - not reading it back (as far as I can see
anyway!), but it does have some stuff for the RichEdit redisplay, but not from
UTF8 - only Unicode.

Any help or guidance here would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave
