WordPress DB collation install in utf8mb4_unicode_ci, but BuddyPress in utf8mb4_general_ci. Why?

Partially answered here, but i ignore the reason BP devs use general_ci.

@djpaul ?

But, WP uses utf8mb4_unicode_ci.
BuddyPress – utf8mb4_general_ci.

I think that for the full integration, better use everywhere utf8mb4_unicode_ci.

This is a good question.

It’s an oversight on our part, dating back to the end of December 2012. Good spot noticing it. We’ll get it addressed, but it won’t be included in a release until BuddyPress 2.8 (end of year) — bad timing with that regard, unfortunately. 🙁

This is fixed in BuddyPress 2.7. 😉
