[rt-users] Charset issues after upgrade to 3.8.1

[F350]

Here is a sample of my custom fields table schema:
CREATE TABLE `CustomFields` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `Name` varchar(200) default NULL,
  `Type` varchar(200) character set ascii default NULL,
  `MaxValues` int(11) default NULL,
  `Pattern` text,
  `Repeated` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
  `Description` varchar(255) default NULL,
  `SortOrder` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `LookupType` varchar(255) character set ascii NOT NULL,
  `Creator` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `Created` datetime default NULL,
  `LastUpdatedBy` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `LastUpdated` datetime default NULL,
  `Disabled` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Can someone tell me if the schema is correct ? When comparing the old
database version (3.8.0) and the new one (3.8.1) I found no differences in
the schema even after applying the script.

Thanks
