I believe this CESU-8 thing has been discussed before a bit (see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-October/019766.html and http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-October/019611.html), including filing a MySQL bug (see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14052, no comments since, it seems).
