Missing Unicode support?

I should add, that I'm using MySQL 4 which doesn't have any support for Unicode character sets. It is though possible to store everything as binary data.
Chinese characters are also rendered as complete garbage.

Hey, I probably won't find the time in the near future, but knowing that somebody cares for the packet might trigger some plans on doing so.

What fixed the problem for me was actually uncommenting the online line that had to do something with Unicode:

--- delicious.module_old 2008-09-23 14:14:16.000571000 +0200
+++ delicious.module 2008-09-23 14:09:01.000120000 +0200
@@ -960,6 +960,6 @@

function start_element($parser, $name, $attrs) {
if ($attrs["DESCRIPTION"] != '') {
- $desc = db_escape_string(utf8_decode($attrs["DESCRIPTION"]));
+ $desc = db_escape_string($attrs["DESCRIPTION"]);
$href = db_escape_string($attrs["HREF"]);
$tags = split(' ', $attrs["TAG"]);
if ($attrs["EXTENDED"] != '') {

It seems that delicious returns UTF-8 encoded strings here. I don't know enough about php and the delicious api and the module here to say what would be the right solution. Removing it will actually treat the string as a binary input and store it as it is into mysql. It works for me as my locale seems to be utf8, but this solution might not work for others. I don't know why a decode method is used if no encoding takes place later in the output step.
