The most recent MySQL encoding thread here brought up the question of why we use utf8_unicode_ci instead of utf8_general_ci like everyone else. It's yet to be "resolved", but I thought I'd throw the question back out anyway for my own edification. I checked back and found when the original UTF8 changes were merged in, but there was no discussion as to which character set to use that I could find. Can someone with more knowledge of the nuances between MySQL character sets tell me what the differences are between utf8_general and utf8_unicode? I also recall there having been mention somewhere of utf8_bin being preferred to prevent problems with the case-insensitivity of _ci types, but I don't know why that would be an issue in other languages and not English...
