I gave up on MySQL a long time ago, when I realized that I had to activate special types of settings just to make Unicode characters work in tables.

In Postgres, it just works out of the box.



Must have been more than 10 years ago when utf8mb4 was added where you don't have to activate any kind of special settings.

I was using MSSQL prior to 2010 so I have no idea of MySQL unicode handling before that

Less than 10 years ago; MySQL 5.5 went GA in December 2010.
