Database Collation Probably Needs to be Updated to utf8mb4

Open JeffPyeBrook opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

WordPress is shifting the preferred collation to utf8mb4. We may want to investigate a migration to this collation to take advantage of full unicode support and avoid any issues with compatibility.

There is a little discussion here https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/04/02/the-utf8mb4-upgrade/

I'm all for ensuring we can have :dancer: as a Checkout Field label.

DO IT.

There's some prior art on index updating and table converting here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/b952bf4eaeba4e95faf08f3c61355e3449bb2aac/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php#L1860-L1878
