How do I set the charset and collation for MySQL tables?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't set these values with attributes, annotations or inside yml or
xml mapping files. To make a database work with the default charset and
collation you should configure MySQL to use it as default charset, or
create the database with charset and collation details. This way they
get inherited to all newly created database tables and columns.
In your mapping configuration, the column definition (for example, the
``#[Column]`` attribute) has an ``options`` parameter where you can specify
the ``charset`` and ``collation``. The default values are ``utf8`` and
``utf8_unicode_ci``, respectively.
