Here is my post, please make it into a thread:

I want to support pretty much every major language in all of my tables. What should my database’s charset and collation be?

Example languages I need to support: english, chinese, japanese, russian, korean, german, french, dutch, spanish, swahili, and many more.

I’ve read the docs but I do not know which char set and collation I should choose.

I have also read that there may be a problem with some collations because something like value may be equivalent to valúe. This issue is also referenced in the official docs.

If I want to support the languages mentioned above, and also choose a collation that allows u to be equivalent to ú (just an example, I don’t know if they would really be equivalent; I do not have great knowledge of collations)), what charset and collation should I choose

And if I wanted to support the languages above but NOT allow u to be equivalent to ú, which charset and collation should I choose?
