on the topic of utf8 what flavor do you use now for usa-english.
Then newer servers have all kinds of elections for utf8 but none state english or whatever is not even close.to the old iso-8859-1. latin_swedish_ci
Except for like
utf8_bin
utf8_general_ci
utf8_unicode_ci
Plus like 15 other flavors with a language suffix
