Not sure why our coding standard does not enforce that, maybe it's too risky?

Not sure if is a good idea, mb functions seems to be slower. When matching non utf8 characters, ordinary functions should be enough. Is there a case where mb is required?

It's indeed consistently slower (according to tests/performance.php
), and I tried to build a failing test case from http://baldi.me/blog/emoji-in-sql … no dice. Let's just close this one.
