COLUMN_CREATE unicode name breakage

    Description

      Possibly related to MDEV-461.

      When calling column_create with names set to utf8, one can successfully
      encode an emoji that takes 4 bytes in utf-8:

      adamj@localhost [1]> set names utf8;
      adamj@localhost [2]> select column_json(column_create('��', 1));
      +---------------------------------------+
      | column_json(column_create('��', 1))     |
      +---------------------------------------+
      | {"��":1}                                |
      +---------------------------------------+

      However if the connection is set to utf8mb4 this actually fails,
      counter-intuitively:

      adamj@localhost [3]> set names utf8mb4;
      adamj@localhost [4]> select column_json(column_create('��', 1));
      +------------------------------------+
      | column_json(column_create('?', 1)) |
      +------------------------------------+
      | {"?":1}                            |
      +------------------------------------+
       
      adamj@localhost [5]> select column_list(column_create('��', 1));
      +------------------------------------+
      | column_list(column_create('?', 1)) |
      +------------------------------------+
      | `?`                                |
      +------------------------------------+

      Other unicode characters work fine though:

      adamj@localhost [6]> select column_list(column_create('❤', 1));
      +--------------------------------------+
      | column_list(column_create('❤', 1))   |
      +--------------------------------------+
      | `❤`                                  |
      +--------------------------------------+
