Emoticons in TinyMCE [SOLVED]

[MarkE]

I have enabled the emoticons plugin for TinyMCE. It appears to work when editing the page but, after saving, the emoticon just appears as ????

Any suggestions?

Is your database set to utf8mb4?

// site/config.php
$config->dbCharset = 'utf8mb4';

If not... saving emojis and emoticons won't work as expected.

Not sure about the steps to convert a db to accept it. Sorry.

ALTER DATABASE databasename CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
ALTER TABLE tablename CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Just need to change the field tables which need to hold emoticons
