I actually never had to deal with that so far and wondered too.

@CoffeeNcode then you selected the wrong UTF-8 in your database.

The wrong UTF-8? WTF?

@telephantasm you wanted to @ @sigfried

@telephantasm yup. In SQL you have UTF 8 split in collations. Depending on your usecase you have to select the one which is best.
@CoffeeNcode use utf8mb4. This will allow emojis to be inserted.

Whoa! I always thought that utf char was inserted to check if client actually supported utf.
On non utf Systems, this variable would have incorrect value so I believed this could be used on server side to test client for utf compatibility.
