MySQL 支持utf8mb4

utf8mb4 utf8mb3 utf8

Refer to

• The utf8mb4 Character Set
• The utf8 Character Set (Alias for utf8mb3)

MySQL在 5.5.3 之后增加了 utf8mb4 字符编码，mb4即 most bytes 4。简单说 utf8mb4 是 utf8 的超集并完全兼容utf8，能够用四个字节存储更多的字符。

而utf8 是 utf8mb3 的别名。标准的 UTF-8 字符集编码是可以用 1~4 个字节去编码21位字符，但是MySQL其实实现的utf8只是使用3个字节而已， utf8mb4才是真正意义上的 utf8。

如果数据库表字段设置的字符集不是utf8mb4，却插入类似emjoy表情的时候：

• 严格模式 下会出现 Incorrect string value: /xF0/xA1/x8B/xBE/xE5/xA2… for column 'name' 这样的错误
• 非严格模式下此后的数据会被截断

排序字符集

Refer to: Collation Naming Conventions

Suffix	Meaning	Remark
_ai	Accent insensitive
_as	Accent sensitive
_ci	Case insensitive	不分区大小写
_cs	case-sensitive	区分大小写
_bin	Binary	二进制存储，区分大小写

utf8mb4_ unicode_ ci VS utf8mb4_ general_ ci

Refer to: What's the difference between utf8_general_ci and utf8_unicode_ci

• utf8_general_ci校对速度快，但准确度稍差。
• utf8_unicode_ci准确度高，但校对速度稍慢。

数据库一般默认选择 utf8mb4_general_ci ;
如果你的应用有德语、法语或者俄语，请一定使用utf8mb4_unicode_ci

配置

vim /etc/my.cnf

[client]
default-character-set = utf8mb4 

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4 

[mysqld]
# character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_general_ci
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8mb4'

检查目前MySQL的字符集

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name LIKE 'character\_set\_%' OR Variable_name LIKE 'collation%';
+--------------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name            | Value           |
+--------------------------+-----------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8            |
| character_set_connection | utf8            |
| character_set_database   | utf8            |
| character_set_filesystem | binary          |
| character_set_results    | utf8            |
| character_set_server     | utf8            |
| character_set_system     | utf8            |
| collation_connection     | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_database       | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_server         | utf8_general_ci |

总结

• mysql 版本 5.5.3+
• MySQL Connector/J Java驱动5.1.13+
• /etc/my.cnf 配置中 添加配置，详见上面
• 排序字符集选用 utf8mb4_unicode_ci
• 列（字段）> 表 > 数据库

备注：
其实只要数据库支持utfbmb4(show char set)，及时MySQL配置(/etc/my.cnf)中配置的默认字符集是utf8，也可以直接指定数据库、表、字段的字符集为utf8mb4，然后在连接的时候指定字符集为utf8mb4即可。
比如设置Java的连接参数中characterEncoding=utf8mb4

建议

数据库在设置字符集的时候，设置成utf8mb4格式！
