Query MySQL with unicode char code.

Question

Hi,

I have been having trouble searching through a MySQL table, trying to find entries with the character (UTF-16 code 200E) in a particular column.

This particular code doesn't have a glyph, so it doesn't seem to work when I try to paste it into my search term. Is there a way to specify characters as their respective code point instead for a query?

Thanks, -Ben

Not tested, but CHAR() could work for this:

CHAR(0x200E);

I can't set up a full test case right now, let us know whether it worked.
