It's just UTF-8

It's also UTF-8 with BOM. It's also windows western 1252. Dont get me started on international date time formatting and time assumptions :(

I wish it was just UTF-8

It's also some surprise internal representation as utf-16; that's at least still in the realm of Unicode. Would also expect there's utf-32 still floating around somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.

And is mysql still doing that thing with utf8 as a noob trap and utf8_for_real_we_mean_it_this_time_honest or whatever they called it as normal utf8?
