Could binary charset in percona.checksums be possible workaround?

CREATE TABLE `checksums` (
  `db` binary(64) NOT NULL,
  `tbl` binary(64) NOT NULL,
  `chunk` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `chunk_time` float DEFAULT NULL,
  `chunk_index` varbinary(200) DEFAULT NULL,
  `lower_boundary` blob,
  `upper_boundary` blob,
  `this_crc` binary(40) NOT NULL,
  `this_cnt` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `master_crc` binary(40) DEFAULT NULL,
  `master_cnt` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `ts` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`db`,`tbl`,`chunk`),
  KEY `ts_db_tbl` (`ts`,`db`,`tbl`)
