Re: 7.3.2 incorrectly counts characters for unicode varchar field

Attached is the UTF-8 encoded sql file in case it got messed up in the mail
transfer.

And here it is pasted in directly from the window that was displaying
chinese characters.

insert into mgc values ('分钟练习分钟练习练习');

Looking at the UTF-8 documentation, 10 chinese characters could be any
number of bytes, each character being say 2 or 3 characters.
