 5.11.7 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 uses an incorrect path to determine 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 cannot 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 do not 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 does not contain the name for the character
      set, your program displays 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'.
