Comment:

 Wordpress requirements listed at https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
 indicate that MySQL version 5.7 is required.

 The `utf8mb4` character set was released in MySQL version 5.5.3 in 2010.
 (See page 159 of https://downloads.mysql.com/docs/mysql-5.5-relnotes-
 en.pdf.  The MySQL Release Notes on mysql.com no longer to back to v5.5).
