I've created a MySQL database that support UTF-8 for foreign languages (such as Japanese).

 

It uses:

 

InnoDB storage engine

UTF-8 character set

utf8_general_ci collation

 

When you use the 'utf8_general_ci' collation in MySQL what does the 'ci' part of 'utf8_general_ci' imply, I've heard that it's "Case Insensitive" but what impact does that make?

 

The purpose for why I'm currently using this collation is for supporting languages like: German, Korean, Japanese, German etc..
