--- Comment #8 from Ori Livneh <[email protected]> --- The reason we don't use the 'utf8' character encoding setting in MySQL is, it turns out, that it can only encode BMP characters, which have a maximum width of three bytes. Supplementary characters cannot be encoded at all. So I *do* think we need to change the character encoding, but to what? Our databases run MariaDB 5.5, which supports a newer character encoding called 'utf8mb4', which offers true utf8 support. I'd strongly prefer that to 'binary', in the interest of being explicit and mitigating the chance that a client will default to some other value based on the system locale or what have you. But this then would leave Yuvi's issue unresolved: the EventLogging database would still be slightly different than the rest of the cluster.
