 5.8.7 Problems With Character Sets
 ----------------------------------
 
 If you try to use a character set that is not compiled into your binary,
 you might run into the following problems:
 
    * Your program has an incorrect path to where the character sets are
      stored.  (Default `/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/charsets').  This
      can be fixed by using the `--character-sets-dir' option when you
      run the program in question.
 
    * The character set is a multi-byte character set that can't be
      loaded dynamically.  In this case, you must recompile the program
      with support for the character set.
 
    * The character set is a dynamic character set, but you don't have a
      configure file for it.  In this case, you should install the
      configure file for the character set from a new MySQL distribution.
 
    * If your `Index' file doesn't contain the name for the character
      set, your program will display the following error message:
 
           ERROR 1105: File '/usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf'
           not found (Errcode: 2)
 
      In this case, you should either get a new `Index' file or manually
      add the name of any missing character sets to the current file.
 
 For `MyISAM' tables, you can check the character set name and number
 for a table with `myisamchk -dvv TBL_NAME'.
