Hello Pierre, Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I've been able to reproduce the issue using --default- character-set=utf8. Some more data points:
1. Reproduces in Bionic, Eoan, Focal. 2. Does NOT reproduce on Xenial (5.7.28-0ubuntu0.16.04.2). 3. Reproduces on Debian sid (5.7.26-1+b1). 4. Does NOT reproduce in Debian jessie (5.5.62-0+deb8u1). 5. Reproduces with --default-character-set=utf8mb4 (= true utf8). 6. Locale is always C.UTF-8. I was tempted to call this an upstream bug, but given that it reproduces on Debian with version 5.7.26-1+b1 but does not reproduce on Xenial with version 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 this may not be the case. The bug requires further investigation. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853818 Title: utf8 non ascii characters are not accepted in the mysql cli when launched with --default-character-set=utf8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1853818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
