@_elena @pfefferle But does a new installation of WordPress still default to utf8 https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/#database-character-set ? Using wp-cli seems to do that https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/config/create/#:~:text=database%20charset.%0A%E2%80%94-,default%3A%20utf8,-%E2%80%94
@pfefferle @_elena Hm, the following:
wp core download
wp config create …
wp core install …
creates a config with
DB_CHARSET='utf8'
but with database tables having `utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci`
Shouldn’t the DB_CHARSET be utf8mb4 or doesn’t it matter?
