Ruby on rails' SQLite database with Chinese characters

["Henry" <liu_henry5@hotmail.com>]

I installed a Debian Lenny AMD 64.  I am planning to use Ruby in Rails to 
build some Chinese web pages.  Now the Chinese input and output on Debian 
works just fine.  I know in Ruby on Rails, I can add Chinese characters 
without problem.  My question here is that whether the sqlite support 
Chinese characters.  If it does, do I need to use different data type other 
than string or text?  Any document out there?  I searched and could not find 
any.

Thanks in advance.
