Description:
mysql> drop table if exists `t0`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> create table `t0` (`c1` char(255) character set ucs2 collate ucs2_bin not null,key(`c1`)) engine=myisam;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> insert into `t0` values ('marshall\'s');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)

mysql> insert into `t0` values ('marsh');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> check table `t0` extended;
+---------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+
| Table   | Op    | Msg_type | Msg_text                           |
+---------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+
| test.t0 | check | error    | Key in wrong position at page 1024 |
| test.t0 | check | error    | Corrupt                            |
+---------+-------+----------+------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.05 sec)

How to repeat:
drop table if exists `t0`;
create table `t0` (`c1` char(255) character set ucs2 collate ucs2_bin not null,key(`c1`)) engine=myisam;
insert into `t0` values ('marshall\'s');
insert into `t0` values ('marsh');
check table `t0` extended;

I did some order tests and got wrong results. I think the order of the key is wrong.

mysql> drop table if exists t;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> create table t (c1 char(100) character set ucs2 collate ucs2_bin not null,key(c1))
    -> engine=myisam;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> insert into t values ('marshall\'s');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into t values ('marsh');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from t;
+------------+
| c1         |
+------------+
| marshall's |
| marsh      |
+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from t order by c1;
+------------+
| c1         |
+------------+
| marshall's |
| marsh      |
+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from t order by c1 desc;
+------------+
| c1         |
+------------+
| marsh      |
| marshall's |
+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

  Bug#32705 - myisam corruption: Key in wrong position
              at page 1024 with ucs2_bin
  
  Inserting strings with a common prefix into a table with
  characterset UCS2 corrupted the table.
  
  An efficient search method was used, which compares end space
  with ASCII blank. This doesn't work for character sets like UCS2,
  which do not encode blank like ASCII does.
  
  Use the less efficient search method _mi_seq_search()
  for charsets with mbminlen > 1.

              at page 1024 with ucs2_bin
  Post-pushbuild fix.
  Moved test from myisam.test to ctype_ucs2_def.test.
  UCS2 is not always available.

why still 'patch queued' ?
[12 Mar 2008 15:15] Ingo Strüwing
Because it is still hanging in the engines trees. We had our merge ticket twice, but lost it due to non-trivial problems in the trees.

ucs2 character set corrupted the table.
