# Character Set Configuration

Currently, TiDB does not support configuring the character set. The default character set is `utf8mb4`.
Currently, TiDB only supports the `utf8` character set, which is the equivalent to `utf8mb4` in MySQL. Since MySQL 5.7 defaults to `latin1`, this difference is documented under [default differences](mysql-compatibility.md#default-differences) between TiDB and MySQL.
