It seems insane that the top Google SERP result for "mysql utf8"[1] mentions this, but not in the top answer, rather in the top comment to the top answer -- which describes why the top answer is wrong. Because of the way MySQL rolled out `utf8` (a strict subset of UTF8) then `utf8mb4` (which is a full UTF8 implementation), the other top result[2] is similarly poisoned where the directions describe using `utf8` and have an addendum describing `utf8mb4` (which isn't hard to miss).
