Quick note: If you're not storing Belarusian, Macedonian, Serbian, or Ukrainian or have no need for *proper sorting* of the extra letters in these languages NOR the support of expansions and ligatures; I would revert to using utf8_general_ci, which is _slightly_ faster but converts all chars to their latin equivalents when sorting.
