Need to use utf8mb4 charset

Closed this issue · 0 comments

MySQL's utf8 charset is useless and can't store 4-byte UTF characters. Characters like emojii will not be included, and more critically, any text following them will be dropped. 😢

Need to modify the charset of all tables to utf8mb4.
Requires MySQL >= 5.5.3.
