Support Emoji In Forums

[dafels]

I wanted to include the "rocket" emoji in my Support Cryptocurrency In Game Store thread, but the forums crashes with a very user unfriendly error!
https://emojipedia.org/rocket/

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x9A\x80' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

It even says that I should contact you.
Please add support for emojies in the forum posts!

Better emoji support before holiday will be very nice I think!

I looked this up myself some time ago. There was an issue, and can't recall if it was with phpBB or with PHP scripting language itself, but that was a couple years ago.
