Have a look at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/c/o/configure_options.html
By default, MySQL uses the ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) character set. To change
the default set, use the --with-charset option: 
shell> ./configure --with-charset=CHARSET

additionally check:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/h/Character_sets.html
