## MySQL compatibility

The usage of `SHOW CHARACTER SET` statement in TiDB is fully compatible with MySQL. However, charsets in TiDB might have different default collations compared with MySQL. For details, refer to [Compatibility with MySQL](/mysql-compatibility.md). If you find any compatibility differences, [report a bug](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/support).
