Description:
On a remote computer, I create a table with a Unicode column.
On a local computer, I create a matching federated table.
I try to insert a string with special characters.
I fail.

This bug report was inspired by a suggestion from Brian Aker.

How to repeat:
On the remote computer, say:
  USE test;
  SET NAMES UTF8;
  CREATE TABLE t1 (s1 CHAR(5) CHARACTER SET UCS2);
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('AÁÑ');

On the local computer, say:
  USE test;
  SET NAMES UTF8;
  create table t1 (s1 char(5) character set ucs2)
  ENGINE=FEDERATED
  CONNECTION='mysql://Remote@192.168.1.106/test/t1';
  /* Change User and Host to what's appropriate for you. */
  INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ('AÁÑ');
  SELECT * FROM t1;

The result of the final SELECT will not contain 'AÁÑ'.
