MySQL Like search for any Japanese character in a string
I'm working on a Japanese website development. I have something like the following database in MySQL:
+--------+-------+
| id | kanji |
+--------+-------+
| 1 | 明 |
| 2 | 令 |
| 3 | 暗 |
| 4 | 週 |
+--------+-------+
I need to do a SELECT so when the value "明暗" is searched, rows 1 and 3 are selected. I know REGEXP could do something like that with the pattern [...], but it does not seem to work good with Chinese (or in this case, Japanese) characters. It shows a wider range of results. It seems like LIKE work better with these charset, but I don't know how to do so. Does anyone know how to do this query?
Thanks!
----- EDIT -----
For REGEXP I'm trying the following query:
SELECT id, kanji
FROM kanjidic2
WHERE kanji REGEXP '[明暗]';
However, these are some of the results (the query found 3842 matches, where there whould be only 2).

I know spliting search would work (even an OR would do the job), but I can't slipt the string, as it is given from a variable in php from a searching bar.

Which MySQL version are you using? Multibytes characters on REGEXP was introduced at version 8.0 so it won't work properly with the older versions. dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-nutshell.html ( Regular expression support )

@akky I'll transcript the information as I am wuite new into mySQL: innodb_version: 5.6.39 protocol_version: 10 I guess it is version 10, but when I run REGEXP, the result of the query is way more rows than the two with the two characters in the query :/

Thanks!, but that query would look for a range. Actually, I don't have problems with regular LIKE queries with unicode characters without 'N', but the query I'm currently looking for is for it to look for any of the characters in the string. The problem with unicode caracters is with REGEXP, not with LIKE.
