Re: DBD::mysql incorrect string value

Is it not possible to change the table/database encoding to "utf8mb4"? Or, would that also not be enough for MySQL to deal with Unicode?

If you care about Unicode in UTF-8 to\|from MySQL, I do hope that you would switch to DBD::MariaDB as choroba mentioned. Thanks goes to Adam H for reminding me about broken "utf8" encoding scheme of MySQL & to use "utf8mb4" instead few days ago, and all the other people through whom I found previously linked article written in 2016.
