Description:
When trying to create a new database using the Schema editor, a warning message  appears saying: 

The server is configured with lower_case_table_names=1, which only allows lowercase characters in schema and table names.
The object will be created as `数`.

How to repeat:
1- On workbench click on the Create new schema at the toolbar on top of the main window.
2- use 数据库 as the name for the new database.
3- Click apply
Expected results are the database should be created with the specified name.

Actual results are: A warning message appears. (as described).

As a workaround a create statement can be used in the Query editor instead of the schema editor. 

CREATE DATABASE 数据库;

which works fine.

Suggested fix:
NA

On Microsoft Windows and with lower_case_table_names set to "1",
        attempting to create a schema name with only question marks
        ("???") using the <guilabel>Create New Schema</guilabel> action
        item would emit an error.
