MySQL Collation
I am trying to import a .sql into a blank database in PHPMyAdmin
The Collation is utf8_unicode_ci
The database tables in the .sql file are:
ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
I get a collation error telling me that the collation format is unrecognised
How do I proceed with this, please?

Any intention to upgrade your MySQL 5.0.x to a higher version? MySQL 5.0.x is pretty obsolete now

Trouble is it's on a hosting site - Plesk control panel

The PHP version I am importing to is 7.3.1.4

what happens if I just change the collation reference in the .sql file
are you able to create the blank database with collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci instead?
you mean MySQL or SQL Server ver 5.5.55?

Thanks again
You're welcome.
Do you have the collation option utf8mb4_unicode_ci to be selected there?
if not mistaken there was some changes to the default collation in different version of MySQL, which changed from utf8 to utf8mb4
