So in 2017, whats the correct character set to use in MySQL?



"utf8mb4", though really in 2017 the correct thing is to use Postgres.


but not everyone can use postgres


Anyone can if they want to enough. Some don't want it enough, or want other things more, but not using postgres is always a choice.
