Should i be using utf8_general_ci and DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8?

    When creating a MySQL database within phpmyadmin and choosing utf8_general_ci then after that, when i create a table and include DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8; within the SQL are both necessary?

    Am i by any chance not needing to use both of those or are they two completely separate things?
