Re: How to make django's mysql connections to use utf8mb4 ?

Hello,

I struggled with this once, although not through Django. I tried a lot of things, and I couldn't get MySQL to properly store emojis, or japanese/chinese characters for example.

As my project was just starting, I switched to postgresql, and it just worked. I did nothing fancy to get it to work and I have succesfully stored all kind of characters.

I'm also interested in the right solution for MySQL, but if you don't want to spend a lot of time or anything else, you might want to try with postgresql.

Best regards

I saved some Emoji icons to MySQL Database,the icons have been saved correctly. Since I can see them from MySQL Shell when I type 'select message_text from messages'

However, when I do Message.object.get(ph=5).message_text, it shows me a bunch question marks.

Could someone please help?

Thanks
