title: How to make a Rails Migration be utf-8 instead of my default latin1
body: <p>I just checked my MySQL tables and I have default set as latin1. Is that generally the default?  </p>
  
  <p>How can I make it explicit for all my tables that I want the database to be utf-8?</p>
  
  <p>I know there is a db configuration that can change the default, but I think there is also a way to do it per-migration.  How could I permanently set my rails migrations from now on to be utf-8?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
