+1 yes. This seems like a good idea, and I recommend we follow our standard lazy consensus on this..
Having a standardized Unicode implementation will simplify and Utf8mb4 instead of a mix of utf8* is a no-brainer... From https://www.eversql.com/mysql-utf8-vs-utf8mb4-whats-the-difference-between-utf8-and-utf8mb4/ if you're using MySQL (or MariaDB or Percona Server) make sure you know your encodings. I would recommend anyone to set the MySQL encoding to utf8mb4. Never use utf8 in MySQL, there is no good reason to do that (unless you like tracing encoding related bugs).
