Description:
Import Table wizard

Importing to a char or varchar field from a csv uses byte width instead of char length

a text in an utf8 file "Ü" is reported as to long for a char(1) field.

How to repeat:
create table short as
 letter char(1) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

csv file containing

Ü

use table import wizerd to import the file reports - Row import failed with error: ("Data too long for column 'letter' at row 1", 1406)

Suggested fix:
use UTF8 to read the file
