In MySQL, you can use the CREATE DATABASE statement to create a database and specify the character set. Here is the syntax for creating a database and specifying the character set:

CREATE DATABASE database_name
    [CHARACTER SET charset_name]
    [COLLATE collation_name];

Here, database_name is the name of the database to be created, charset_name is the designated character set name, and collation_name is the specified collation rule name.

For example, to create a database named “mydatabase” and set the character set to UTF8, you can use the following statement:

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase
    CHARACTER SET utf8
    COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Please note that the choice of character set and proofreading rules should be based on the needs of your application and data.
