To find out which character sets and collations all tables of a given database (here: rancher_dev) use, the following query helps:

mysql> SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLLATION_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME FROM information_schema.`TABLES` T, information_schema.`COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY` CCSA WHERE CCSA.collation_name = T.table_collation AND T.table_schema = "rancher_dev";
