It appears utf8mb4_general_ci was chosen as the default. Some users may wish to choose utf8mb4_unicode_ci. Maybe this can be specified in the drush command?

Patch allows options --charset and --collation. The options are not required. Defaults charset as "utf8mb4" and collation as "utf8mb4_general_ci". I have successfully tested with drush utf8mb4-convert-databases --collation=utf8mb4_unicode_ci and also drush utf8mb4-convert-databases --charset=utf8 --collation=utf8_general_ci.
