Comment:
To me it seems the character encoding is set on connect to 'charset':
'utf8'. Is it enough to change this from 'utf8' to 'utf8mb4' to change
this default. If not, where should this default encoding be defined? Does
this mean that any text column must be VARCHAR(N) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 on
creation?
I am accepting this as to me the change sounds valid.
