From phpMyAdmin I can see Database Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8).
The collation of all my databases, tables and columns is utf8_unicode_ci.
However, it shows my Server connection collation is utf8_general_ci.
It seems from phpMyAdmin, under server's general settings I can temporarily change it to utf8_unicode_ci. After I switch databases, it goes back to utf8_general_ci.
How do I change it permanently? Should I do it? Any side-effects?
Thanks.
