Not sure I understand the question, but if you declare the name column to be of type NCHAR (or NVARCHAR2 if you insist), and also created the database with a national character set of something Unicode, then that column will perfectly happilly accept entries in Sanskrit, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Swahili -you name it.

As yet, Unicode doesn't support dinky di Australian however.
