Database names created with 4-byte characters displayed as ???

[Jennifer Roos]

I am testing with MySQL using UTF8MB4, and while I have gotten most things to work, am running into an issue with database names that I have created using 4-byte Traditional Chinese characters. When I do a show databases it displays databases with 3-byte characters correctly, but all 4-byte ones are shown with ????. If, however, I try to recreate a database using the same Traditional Chinese characters, it indicates that it already exists.

I am wondering if the problem is that the server was originally setup with out the utf8mb4 settings, so that DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME for information_schema is utf8 and DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME for information_schema is utf8_general_ci. I'm assuming this is why I cannot see 4-byte characters for those database names.

My Main Question ===> Is there anyway to convert this, or would I have to start over and recreate all of the MySQL base tables?

My server settings are as follows:
mysql> show global variables like '%char%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_connection | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_database | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_server | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+-------------------------

mysql> show global variables like '%coll%';
+----------------------+--------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------+--------------------+
| collation_connection | utf8mb4_unicode_ci |
| collation_database | utf8mb4_unicode_ci |
| collation_server | utf8mb4_unicode_ci |
+----------------------+--------------------+

Here are some example rows from my SCHEMATA table in information_schema. The 3-byte Korean characters display fine (last 2 rows), but the 4-byte Chinese characters are just '?'

mysql> select * from SCHEMATA;
+--------------+---------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+----------+
| CATALOG_NAME | SCHEMA_NAME | DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME | DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME | SQL_PATH |
+--------------+---------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+----------+
| def | information_schema | utf8 | utf8_general_ci | NULL |
| def | ? | utf8mb4 | utf8mb4_unicode_ci | NULL |
| def | ????? | utf8mb4 | utf8mb4_unicode_ci | NULL |
| def | 갗갗 | utf8mb4 | utf8mb4_unicode_ci | NULL |
| def | 괩괩 | utf8mb4 | utf8mb4_unicode_ci | NULL |
+--------------+---------------------+----------------------------+------------------------+----------+
