Text (uni)coding issue

I was still fairly green to mySQL when I first created this database,  
so I never changed the default. Looks like the collation is  
"utf8mb4_unicode_ci". Should that be changed to something else? The  
server charset is UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) [HostM]

There were some errors (I think from email translations), but I think  
I understand what you're trying to do. The data still seems to be in a  
weird format.
