MySQL change the charset
Allow to chose another charset when creating a database or do not set one.
Plesk does use:
"CREATE DATABASE databasename /*!40101 default charset=utf8 */"
And with this does overwrite when the MySQL config was changed to use utf8mb4 for example.
Or allow to choose a charset on creation or create DBs with:
"CREATE DATABASE databasename"

Modern charsets should be supported fully with plesk and UTF8MB4 is absolutely mandatory
