In 2022 with a new release of MySQL or MariaDB, is it still possible to create a database with "utf8" encoding? Does it print a warning?

I spun up a MariaDB cluster yesterday and each node came configured with utf8mb4 by default.

Testing it now, manually chosing utf8 for new tables shows no warning.

Thanks for the report! Glad real UTF-8 is the default at least.
