UTF-8 is love, UTF-8 is life ♥️

Love is Love, Life is Life, don't make things complicated

Until your db counts each byte as one char.

@ThatDude you mean me?

No, UTF8 is normal and the only way it should be done

@Mayhem93 yeah.. It's about time to ditch every encoding except one. I mean what on earth is the purpose of multiple encodings anyway?

@mzeffect there are some edge cases, but UTF8 should be ubiquitous like 98% of everything

Unicode is □

We've just encountered an issue with UTF-8 in a MySql database. Some of our customers using our API are sending UTF-8 emojis to the API. The API handles it just fine, but the database is not happy 😂

@aaxa laughing loud here! Brilliant!

@aaxa 😂😂😂😂😂

@aaxa please share how database stores emoji?

@dextel2 Well, the API handles it fine since it's just a UTF-8 character, like "0xF0 0x9F 0x98 0x83"
But apparently when that reaches the database, the DB just throws up. My boss solved it yesterday, but he haven't told me what exactly happened to the DB yet. I think it just rejects to save it

@aaxa fucking hilarious 😂😂😂

UTF-16 pls
