Possible solution

• Export the database

sudo mariadb-dump --default-character-set=latin1 database > database.sql

Remplace mariadb-dump by mysqldump for MySQL

• Edit the database.sql and change the /*!40101 SET NAMES latin1 */; by /*!40101 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */;

• Import the database

sudo mariadb --default-character-set=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci database < database.sql

Remplace mariadb by mysql for MySQL

Note

utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci is the new default.
