You are mistaken, unfortunately. 31 *characters* is correct. Furthermore, I believe it was demonstrated at some point that the identifiers of triggers (and possibly also stored procedures) will overflow if defined as 28 characters or more.

Identifiers (including user names) are stored in UNICODE_FSS, three bytes per character, no variability.

Never.

The DB default charset doesn't influence the charset of identifiers.
