Encoding of the symbols

[mitko]

Hi everyone! Was forced to update to Coppermine 1.6 due to update of MySQL on a hoster side.
Got a problem with encoding of different symbols at the moment:
i.e. on this page https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/displayimage.php?pid=45980 (see below on coordinates field)
or here https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/displayimage.php?&pid=45289
Before upgrade all was well
Coppermine charset is utf-8
Database Collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci (set by hoster) but all tables collations utf8_general_ci - which should override DB collation
