=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::UTF8Columns - Force UTF8 (Unicode) flag on columns

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Artist;
    use base 'DBIx::Class::Core';

    __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/UTF8Columns/);
    __PACKAGE__->utf8_columns(qw/name description/);

    # then belows return strings with utf8 flag
    $artist->name;
    $artist->get_column('description');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to get columns data that have utf8 (Unicode) flag.

=head2 Warning

Note that this module overloads L<DBIx::Class::Row/store_column> in a way
that may prevent other components overloading the same method from working
correctly. This component must be the last one before L<DBIx::Class::Row>
(which is provided by L<DBIx::Class::Core>). DBIx::Class will detect such
incorrect component order and issue an appropriate warning, advising which
components need to be loaded differently.
