I don't know what means of connection GoldMine uses. I have not heard of
the program before.

But when you connect through most APIs, they will perform a character
conversion to similar characters. The one API where this does not happen
is the old DB-Library.

By the way, if you got that collation installed by default, this means
that your operating system has US English as its default language. Had
the OS had Turkish as its default language, you would had been offered
Turkish_CI_AS as your default collation.
