Description:
MySQL currently only supports Unicode characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). In Unicode versions 3.1+ there are around 45,000 or more characters that are not part of the BMP, some of which are part of the JIS2004 (Japanese) character set.

Many customers will wish to use JIS2004 and other character sets that make use of characters outside of the BMP.

This is a feature request for MySQL to support JIS2004 and other such character sets.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
n/a

Fixed in 5.6. Unicode characters beyond BMP are supported by uca collations which implement UCA 5.2.0+.
