There should be a big FAT warning in the mysql/mariadb docs that "utf8" should NEVER be used, and "utf8mb4" is likely the intended use... A future full version cut should probably change the alias for "utf8" to the proper implementation.
Came across this the last time I used mysql, fortunately before it was too far into the project. In any case, every time I've ever used mysql, there's something that pisses me off about it. Like indexing on a BINARY field is using case-insensitive comparisons, like it's actually text.
