We have to manage emojis. 👍

Some Emojis seem to work presently! I was able to save a toot with ✨✈️ and ➡️, but as soon as I tried to add 🛬or 🛫, I'd get a Server Error 500 on POST.

Configure the database with utf8mb4 encoding, and make sure to open the database connection with explicit utf8mb4 encoding. Don’t attempt to convert the database in place. 4-byte characters is almost guaranteed to explode. Instead, setup a new schema and table with utf8mb4 encoding, and then copy over data row by row with a utf8->utf8mb4 conversion. You’ll find tons of tutorials and guides on how to do this for WordPress (older versions defaulted to utf8 instead of utf8mb4) that you can adapt.
