Description

Craft 3 doesn't seem to support emoji in any field that I tried (plain text, rich text, category). 😿

I found this StackExchange answer from @takobell where he states that Craft will automatically HTML encode emoji in a rich text field. This doesn't seem to be the case. His answer also mentions the possibility to set the database charset and collation to utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci. Will this work with Craft 3? Is it advisable to do?

Steps to reproduce

1. 😎 Enter a cool emoji into a field.
2. 💾 Save the entry.
3. ⚠️ Receive an error message like this one:

Internal Server Error

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x95\x93' for column 'title' at row 1 The SQL being executed was: UPDATE `craft_content` SET `elementId`=217, `siteId`=1, `title`='New Website 🍻', `field_featured`=1, `field_passphrase`='', `dateUpdated`='2017-04-12 18:36:57' WHERE `id`='348'
