It seems that we have managed to insert into our database 2 unicode characters for each of the unicode characters we want,

For example, for the unicde char 0x3CBC, we've inserted the unicode equivalents for each of it's components (0xC383 AND 0xC2BC)

Can anyone think of a simple solution for fixing this?

I've come up with something like

SELECT replace(name, CONCAT(0xC3,0x83,0xc2,0xbc), CONCAT(0xc3,0xbc)) FROM lang

For the above, but don't want to have to do this for every unicode character!
