JSON data type always parsed as binary

I have a table with JSON column.

Column options: encoding UTF-8, collationutf8mb4_general_ci. Table options: CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci.

Query this column always returns json object with broken character set. For example:

Real data stored in mysql: {“value”: “Problem: Arbeitsaufträge - привет”} Query result: {“value”: “Problem: Arbeitsaufträge - привет”}

I’ve made a little research and it turns out that mysql returns characterSet: 63 (binary) for that column, but node-mysql handles it well, while node-mysql2 - not.

Field definition in result set:

{ catalog: 'def',
    schema: '...',
    name: 'metadata',
    orgName: 'metadata',
    table: 'products',
    orgTable: 'products',
    characterSet: 63,
    columnLength: 4294967295,
    columnType: 245,
    flags: 144,
    decimals: 0
}
