Ah, thank you. That didn't exactly solve it, but it certainly pointed me in
the right direction. ++
I added that to my settings, and it still failed. I took a look at
VARIABLES and discovered the 'character_set_server' in my servers was latin1
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | latin1 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | latin1 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/local/mysql/share/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------------+
I fixed (temporarily) by just doing
set global character_set_server=utf8;
on the server. not preserved on restarts, unfortunately, but this
command-line (or my.cnf corollaries) does get it setup properly
mysqld \
--datadir "$DIR/data" \
--lc-messages-dir "$DIR/msg" \
--skip-innodb-file-per-table \
--collation-server=utf8_general_ci \
--init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' \
--character-set-server=utf8&
