Switch to UTF-8 charset in Mysql on Ubuntu

When installing Mysql on Ubuntu the default character set is probably latin-1. Since Ubuntu uses UTF-8 for most other things this may be little strange. But it is easy to change.

The Mysql configuration file /etc/mysql/my.cnf has a magic line:

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/

This will make it include settings on the subdirectory conf.d. It's not recommended to change themy.cnf file directly since it will cause problems when upgrading Ubuntu/Mysql to a new version.

Create a new file: /etc/mysql/conf.d/utf8_charset.cnf with the following contents:

[mysqld]

default-character-set=utf8

character-set-server=utf8

collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci

skip-character-set-client-handshake

[client]

default-character-set=utf8

Restart mysql and you will have UTF-8 as character set:

$ mysql -u root -p -e 'show variables like "%character%";show variables like "%collation%"';

| character_set_server     | utf8                       |

| character_set_system     | utf8                       |

| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |

| Variable_name        | Value           |

+----------------------+-----------------+

| collation_connection | utf8_unicode_ci |

| collation_database   | utf8_unicode_ci |

| collation_server     | utf8_unicode_ci |

+----------------------+-----------------+

if you want to change the DB

alter database <database> character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;
