Saving text in russian

Hi,
I have a table with a field that is to save text in Russian. The text is
then retrieved by a PHP page. I run a query passing text in windows-1251
encoding, but when I retrieve it from the db, it shows up all wrong.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,
Lüph

Nevermind that, I've decided to use Unicode, but here came another problem:

INSERT INTO tbl (name_ru) VALUES ("Админ");

will insert only "Адм".. Anyone?
