Question how config mariandb for utf8mb4

shinichi kudo

Basic Pleskian
while installing moodle it aask about this warning:

mysql_full_unicode_supportif this test fails, it indicates a potential problem
The current setup of MySQL or MariaDB is using 'utf8'. This character set does not support four byte characters which include some emoji. Trying to use these characters will result in an error when updating a record, and any information being sent to the database will be lost. Please consider changing your settings to 'utf8mb4'. See the documentation for full details.

how i do it ?
 
I think that you need to upgrade MySQL or MariaDB to a higher version 10.x, where 'utf8mb4' collation is present by default.
 
I USE

Plesk Obsidian
Version 18.0.39 Update #1

with
Mariadb 10.5
