# Supported Character Sets and Collations
## Character Sets
You can see which character sets are available in a particular version by running the [SHOW CHARACTER SET](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/administrative-sql-statements/show/show-character-set) statement or by querying the [Information Schema CHARACTER\_SETS Table](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-character_sets-table).
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Current" %}
It is possible to change the default collation associated with a character set. See [Changing Default Collation](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/data-types/string-data-types/setting-character-sets-and-collations#changing-default-collation).
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="< 11.2" %}
It is **not** possible to change the default collation associated with a character set. See [Changing Default Collation](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/data-types/string-data-types/setting-character-sets-and-collations#changing-default-collation)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that the [Mroonga Storage Engine](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-usage/storage-engines/mroonga) only supports a limited number of character sets.

## Collations
MariaDB supports the following collations (from [MariaDB 11.4.5](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/11.4/11.4.5)):
```sql
SELECT collation_name, character_set_name as cs_name, id, is_default AS def, is_compiled AS com,
sortlen, comment FROM information_schema.collations ORDER BY collation_name;

:information\_source: The UCA-14.0.0 collations were added in [MariaDB 10.10.1](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.10/10.10.1).
:information\_source: Before [MariaDB 10.6.1](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/10.6/10.6.1), the `utf8mb3*` collations listed above were named `utf8*`.
:information\_source: [MariaDB 11.4.5](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/11.4/11.4.5) added UCA-9.0.0 collations, as well as a Comment column to `information_schema.collations`, to make it clear that the UCA-9.0.0 collations are mapped to the UCA-14.0.0 collations. The UCA-9.0.0 collations have mainly been added to make it easy to replicate from MySQL 8.0 to MariaDB 11.4.5 and newer.
{% hint style="info" %}
Note that some of the collations are used with several different character sets. In this case, the `Charset` and `Id` columns are `NULL`.
{% endhint %}
You can find all combinations of the supported character set and collation in the [information\_schema.COLLATION\_CHARACTER\_SET\_APPLICABILITY](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-collation_character_set_applicability-table) table.
## Case Sensitivity
A '`ci`' at the end of a collation name indicates the collation is case-insensitive. A '`cs`' at the end of a\
collation name indicates the collation is case sensitive.
## NO PAD Collations
`NO PAD` collations regard trailing spaces as normal characters. You can get a list of all of these by querying the [Information Schema COLLATIONS Table](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-collations-table) as follows:
```sql
SELECT collation_name FROM information_schema.COLLATIONS
WHERE collation_name LIKE "%nopad%";
+------------------------------+
| collation_name |
+------------------------------+
| big5_chinese_nopad_ci |
| big5_nopad_bin |
...
```
## Accent Insensitivity
An accent insensitive collation is one where the accented and unaccented versions of a letter are considered to be identical for sorting purposes.
:information\_source: [MariaDB 10.10](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.10/what-is-mariadb-1010) added the accent insensitivity flag, and new collations are marked with '\_ai' or '\_as' in the name to indicate this, for example:
```sql
...
| uca1400_spanish2_ai_ci |
| uca1400_spanish2_ai_cs |
| uca1400_spanish2_as_ci |
| uca1400_spanish2_as_cs |
...
```
## Changes
* [MariaDB 10.10](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.10/what-is-mariadb-1010) added 184 UCA-14.0.0 collations. Unicode-14.0.0 was released in September 2021. They contain 939 [built-in contractions](https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/14.0.0/allkeys.txt). Old collations based on UCA-4.0.0 and UCA-5.2.0 did not support built-in contractions. This is a step towards better Unicode Collation Algorithm compliance. With built-in contractions, some languages (e.g., Thai) won't need specific collations and will just work with the default "root" collation.
* [MariaDB 10.6.1](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/10.6/10.6.1) changed the `utf8` character set by default to be an alias for utf8mb3 rather than the other way around. It can be set to imply `utf8mb4` by changing the value of the [old\_mode](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/old_mode) system variable.
* [MariaDB 10.2.2](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.2/10.2.2) added 88 `NO PAD` collations.
* [MariaDB 10.1.15](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.1/10.1.15) added the `utf8_thai_520_w2`, `utf8mb4_thai_520_w2`, `ucs2_thai_520_w2`, `utf16_thai_520_w2` and `utf32_thai_520_w2` collations.
* [MariaDB 10.0.7](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.0/10.0.7) added the `utf8_myanmar_ci`, `ucs2_myanmar_ci`, `utf8mb4_myanmar_ci`, `utf16_myanmar_ci` and `utf32_myanmar_ci` collations.
* [MariaDB 10.0.5](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/10.0/10.0.5) added the `utf8_german2_ci`, `utf8mb4_german2_ci`, `ucs2_german2_ci`, `utf16_german2_ci` and `utf32_german2_ci` collations.
* [MariaDB 5.1.41](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/old-releases/5.1/5.1.41) added a Croatian collation patch from [Alexander Barkov](https://www.collation-charts.org/) to fix some problems with the Croatian character set and `LIKE` queries. This patch added `utf8_croatian_ci` and `ucs2_croatian_ci` collations to MariaDB.
