Description:
this page:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/optimizing-innodb-storage-layout.html
shows:
```txt
When using COMPACT row format (the default InnoDB format) and variable-length character sets, such as utf8mb4 or sjis, CHAR(N) columns occupy a variable amount of space, but still at least N bytes.
```

but in this page:https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_default_row_f...

innodb_default_row_format default value is DYNAMIC

How to repeat:
not need

Suggested fix:
remove ` (the default InnoDB format)` in first page
