Description

Every so often, a project of mine struggles to apply a migration because there's a charset mismatch between tables, which shouldn't be possible really.

I will add the following to WebEngine's defaults, and track here accordingly:

charset=utf8mb4
collation=utf8mb4_general_ci
Dominant language
