I am using mysql server configuration details are:

```
"protocol_version   10"
"version    6.0.0-alpha-community-nt-debug"
"version_comment    MySQL Community Server (GPL)"
"version_compile_machine    ia32"
"version_compile_os Win32"

```

I am using hibernate for working with application running over chinese character set. In this server I am not able to find the utf8mb4 character set in the list of CHARACTER\_SET.

In hibernate I am using below configuration settings:

```
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tutordb?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8mb4</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
  <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
  <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</property>
  <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.autoReconnect">true</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.CharSet">utf8mb4</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.characterEncoding">utf8mb4</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.useUnicode">true</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.verifyServerCertificate">false</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.requireSSL">false</property>
  <property name="hibernate.connection.useSSL">false</property> 

```

But is is saying like utf8mb4 character set is not supported. with utf8 it is working perfectly but not able to add chinese charaters unicode in database says invalid charaters.

Where I am wrong. I donot know. Can you provide mysqlserver essential link that can provide me the utf8mb4 support. Or any other issue with my code over here.

IF I am missing some snippet from pasting over here. please confirm so I get the correct solution with this.
