Hi there,

The above can happen when MySQL has been updated since your site was installed and now creating a new table uses a different collation than the others.

The first thing to do fro here is to create a database backup, there are many options for this but one option is to use UpDraft:

Once you have a backup, a quick fix is to use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/database-collation-fix/

That will update the database to all use the same collation and should fix the above error for you.
