Since version 1.5, MediaWiki stores all data in Unicode. Before that, the enocding was configurable; [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLegacyEncoding|$wgLegacyEncoding]] allows current MediaWiki to work with old non-Unicode database values. This is one of our oldest pieces of technical debt. Retire it and automatically convert database rows on upgrade instead.
