What happened?

Cannot get Craft CMS 5 up and running on my local machine despite using the new DB encoding standard.

Using Mariadb from 11.2.2

CREATE TABLE `Test` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_general_ci;

Dispite doing this, I get the following message when upgrading or creating a fresh DB.

Caused by: Exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1253 COLLATION 'utf8mb3_unicode_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'utf8mb4''
