sql server msde:

Don't know about PHP. Don't you mean UTF-16? MSDE, SQL Server, SQL
Express, etc., support Unicode via NCHAR and NVARCHAR data types.

"Do we have a rough estimate of ::etc::"? No, but mostly that's a side
effect of not being on your payroll and not knowing anything at all about
your software, customers, the number of languages you intend to support, or
the number of messages that will need to be translated from one language to
another.

I wondered if MSDE and PHP allowed for Unicode character sets (such as by
using
the UTF-8 standard)?

Would this also require changes to the MSDE tables/fields or global settings?

We are planning on selling our product to the international market. Our
product currently uses MSDE and PHP.

The GUIs of our applications would not change but they would like for
whatever the users type to be in their native language using the appropriate
Unicode character set.

Do we have a rough estimate of how much time it might take to make all of
these changes in PHP and MSDE?
