Improved handling of character sets is one of the features added to MySQL in Version 4.1. This chapter explains:

The features described here are as implemented in MySQL 4.1.1. (MySQL 4.1.0 has some but not all of these features, and some of them are implemented differently.)

Character set support currently is included in the MySISAM and MEMORY (HEAP) storage engines. The InnoDB storage engine does not yet include it. ISAM does not; there are no plans to do so.
