Ok, I now know _how_ this can be fixed. If all the places where strings are quoted (for MySQL) would simply use mysql_real_escape_string then everything would be just fine. This function takes character set into account so it would just do the right thing.

I first brought this problem up over a year ago and it still plagues me from time to time. Basically, Big5 or GB-2312 characters ending in '\' are incorrectly quoted by the DBD::mysql driver, resulting in much pain.

If this could be fixed I would be eternally grateful. I've been trying to patch this but I am a C gimp and am not getting very far.
