Description:
In page
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/charset-unicode.html

it is mentionned that
'Currently, MySQL UTF8 support does not include four-byte sequences'

The fact is, utf8 can have up to 6 bytes sequences (see rfc2279) to support all unicode chars of iso 10646.

How to repeat:
look at
