I am using mysql 4.0 server. But in the database I can not use special characters (i.e. latin characters, root sign etc.) or can not use superscript or subscript. In the front end I am using VB. When I am copying the text from Ms word and pasting it the character changes.
Presently I am using field type Varchar. Please help me in this matter.
