      Crowd does not mention that utf8mb4 could be used with MySQL database in the official MySQL setup documentation.

      It would be nice to have the application tested and supported when using the utf8mb4 Character Set.

            [CWD-5618] Provide support for MySQL Databases using utf8mb4

            UCAR Webmaster added a comment -

            Please update the docs with the specific character set and collation to use for mysql v.8, since utf8/utf8_bin is ambiguous.

            From https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-unicode-sets.html:

            utf8: An alias for utf8mb3. In MySQL 8.0, this alias is deprecated; use utf8mb4 instead. utf8 is expected in a future release to become an alias for utf8mb4.
