`alter database <DBNAME> character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;` `alter database <DBNAME> character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;`
Be aware of older MySQL and MariaDB versions which sometimes use shorter representations of UTF-8 than 4 bytes.
This can break if symbols with more bytes are used.
You can use `alter database <DBNAME> character set utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci` to be on the safe side.
