Using PHPMyAdmin gives you the option of other languages. I'm not sure how to do it through command line though.

Sorry for the late reply.
I am using PHPMyAdmin. but can i add an existing field that accepts chinese character into my user table?
My database table is all set up. Now i want it to store chinese characters when the user inputs chinese characters. Can advise what to do?
Do i have to create another table to accept chinese characters?
Thanks
