Yeah. That is ok. Nice article. I knew that I shuld use unicode, but which one is best to use?

or example my MySQL server is set to use UTF-8 by default, but in ASP.NET I have UTF-16 (which is defaulted as 'unicode') to choose too.

Will that make problems when reading/writting to and from database? And what type of uniode should I select so I don't have to think about it never ever more...

 

 

Thanks.

Try the links below MySQL use UCS2 and UTF8 I would try out both because UC2 is like UTF16 in behavior but uses less resources.  The good thing is Uncode collation and characterset information is covered  in MySQL documentation.  Hope this helps.
