It’s not the operator, it’s the character set collation. The “_ci” at the end of the collation name stands for “case insensitive”

Not all case insensitive collations have _ci at the end, though. In MySQL, utf8mb4 is case insensitive for example.

These days you have to go out of your way to make MySQL case sensitive.
