16.11.1 The Unicode Character Sets

There are our two Unicode character sets. You can store texts in about 650 languages using these character sets. We have not added a large number of collations for these two new sets yet, but that will be happening soon. Now they have default case-insensitive accent-insensitive collations, plus the binary collation.
 
+---------+-----------------+-------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description     | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+-----------------+-------------------+--------+
| utf8    | UTF-8 Unicode   | utf8_general_ci   |      3 |
| ucs2    | UCS-2 Unicode   | ucs2_general_ci   |      2 |
