title: UTF-8: General? Bin? Unicode?
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out what collation I should be using for various types of data. 100% of the content I will be storing is user-submitted.</p>
  
  <p>My understanding is that I should be using UTF-8 General CI (Case-Insensitive) instead of UTF-8 Binary. However, I can't find a clear a distinction between UTF-8 General CI and UTF-8 Unicode CI.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Should I be storing user-submitted content in UTF-8 General or UTF-8 Unicode CI columns?</li>
  <li>What type of data would UTF-8 Binary be applicable to?</li>
  </ol>
