MySQL 8 provides the --character-set-server and --collation-server options to configure the character sets. The default character set has been changed from latin1 to UTF8. UTF8 is the dominating character set, though it hadn't been a default one in prior versions of MySQL. With these changes globally accepted, character sets and collations are now based on UTF8; one of the common reasons is because there are around 21 different languages supported by UTF8, which makes systems provide multilingual support. Before configuring collation, refer to the collation list available at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/show-collation.html.
