Note that it's perfectly fine to use UTF8 encoding and C collation (this
has the effect of sorting strings in Unicode codepoint order); this is
as fast for comparisons as LATIN1/C is.
For those cases where you need data to be sorted in a
culturally-meaningful order rather than in codepoint order, you can set
collations on specific columns or in individual queries.
