add utf8mb4 recommendation
This commit is contained in:
@@ -28,6 +28,18 @@ unicode** will include both charset and use_unicode=0::

|

For MySQL versions 5.5.3 and MySQLdb version 1.2.3 forward, the special
|
||||
MySQL-specific encoding 'utf8mb4' is now recommended::
|
||||
|
||||
create_engine("mysql+mysqldb://user:pass@host/dbname?charset=utf8mb4&use_unicode=0")
|
||||
|
||||
The 'utf8' encoding may still be used, however MySQL will only support
|
||||
unicode characters within the first three of four possible bytes:
|
||||
no (💩 or 😻) note that in order to use utf8mb4 fully, changes to
|
||||
the MySQL schema and/or server configuration may be required.
|
||||
See also: `The utf8mb4 character set
|
||||
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-utf8mb4.html>_`.
|
||||
|
||||
As of this writing, MySQLdb only runs on Python 2. It is not known how
|
||||
MySQLdb behaves on Python 3 as far as unicode decoding.
