How to resolve the ERROR 1115 (42000): Unknown character set: 'utf8mb4'?
You will get this type of error when your MySQL version is below 5.5.3. This is because “utf8mb4” introduced in MySQL version 5.5.3.
Firstly, you need to check the current version. If its less than 5.5.3, then you need to upgrade to solve the above error.
Check the current version −
mysql> select version();
Here, our MySQL version is over 5.5.3 −
+-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ | 8.0.12 | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Now the same query that gave an error 1115, will display correct result. To check all character set in MySQL now, use the below query.
mysql> show character set;
The following is the output displaying “utf8mb4” correctly displayed;
