Database should contain characters from all over the world

I have a database where the name of many people lay in. The character set is ISO8859-15 so western europe characters. Now I want Names from all over the world join the database,e.g. Chinese and greek characters should be usable. What do I have to change? Which Character Set do I have to use?

I'm pretty sure you want Unicode character encoding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode

"ISO 8859-1 is a single-byte encoding that can represent the first 256 Unicode characters."
