Issue with client charset

Hi,
I am using mysql connector/c++ 8.0.17 in centos environment.
And the version of mysql server is 5.6.51 MySQL Community Server.

When creating a connection in the client,
"utf8mb4" was set in the "OPT_CHARSET_NAME" option.

However, the value of this option doesn't seem to be reflected.
This is because if you execute a query like SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%', the result is as shown below.

==================================================
character_set_client | utf8 |
character_set_connection | utf8 |
character_set_database | utf8 |
character_set_filesystem | binary |
character_set_results | utf8 |
character_set_server | utf8 |
character_set_system | utf8 |
character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |==================================================


It comes out as utf8, not utf8mb4.
As a result, the value of the column with the utf8mb4 attribute cannot be read properly.


The question is, why is the "OPT_CHARSET_NAME" option in the client not reflected properly?


The current charset environment of Mysql server is as follows.

mysql> status
