Unimus doesn't properly display special characters

In some cases, you might see that Unimus doesn't properly show special / national characters (they are shows as a question mark).

This can be solved by properly setting the DB charset / collation:

  1. Shut down Unimus
  2. Set DB collation to UTF8mb4 and charset to UTF8mb4_unicode_cs
  3. Start Unimus

After setting tables in the DB to this, any new special characters written to the DB should be displayed properly.
(this will not change data already existing in the DB)

Unimus requires multiple DB columns to be VARCHAR(255).
