Someone put some Korean words in my SQL_ASCII database:

When you change the encoding of you browser to EUC-KR it looks
suspiciously like Korean. What is going on here? How is this working?

SQL_ASCII doesn't mean "7 bit only". It means something closer to
"we don't know what encoding this stuff is, and won't risk doing
any automatic conversions".
