Known to work in Laravel/Lumen 7.x:

I've tried the un-commenting of AppServiceProvider::class and other solutions mentioned above, but the following worked for me.

If you look in /vendor/laravel/lumen-framework/config/database.php for charset and collation, the code checks your .env file and resorts to utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci, respectively.

If your database' charset is set to utf8 and collation to utf8_unicode_ci, simply add the following to your .env file:

# .env
...
DB_CHARSET=utf8
DB_COLLATION=utf8_unicode_ci
...
