MySQL utf8mb4字符集：支持emoji表情符号
上网查询下才发现mysql要用utf8mb4，不能用utf8。
涉及无线相关的 MySQL 数据库建议都提前采用 utf8mb4 字符集。
utf8mb4和utf8到底有什么区别呢？原来以往的mysql的utf8一个字符最多3字节，而utf8mb4则扩展到一个字符最多能有4字节，所以能支持更多的字符集。
首先先查看下mysql当前版本所支持的字符集
show charset;
阿里云的RDS是支持utf8mb4的，这样就不用升级了，网上说5.5.3以上才支持，自己没有核实过。
1.修改database,table,column字符集mysql语句如下
# For each database:
ALTER DATABASE database_name CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
# For each table:
ALTER TABLE table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
# For each column:
ALTER TABLE table_name CHANGE column_name column_name VARCHAR(191) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
# (Don’t blindly copy-paste this! The exact statement depends on the column type, maximum length, and other properties. The above line is just an example for a `VARCHAR` column.)
2.修改my.cnf
[client]
default-character-set = utf8mb4
[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4
[mysqld]
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
init_connect=’SET NAMES utf8mb4′
3.重启mysql,检查字符集
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name LIKE ‘character_set_%’ OR Variable_name LIKE ‘collation%’;
