Collation ترتيب المحارف (Collation)

Definition

The rule set a database uses to compare and sort text — whether "a" equals "A", how accents rank, and how Arabic letters order. For modern multilingual sites the safe choice is utf8mb4 with a Unicode collation (e.g. utf8mb4_unicode_ci): it stores every emoji and Arabic character correctly. Legacy "utf8" in MySQL is a 3-byte trap that corrupts emoji.
