Hi @selrond
I believe utf8mb4_general_ci has the same behavior: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21919576/clarification-on-potential-issues-with-equality-of-accented-characters-with-non. Like the one mentioned in the link I gave you in my previous reply, you can use binary collation. Unfortunately, it has other issues.
So for now, the best solution is to change the database manually. Don’t forget to backup your database before changing it.
I hope this helps 🙂
