Adding an emojis to profile description shows 500 error page

Hi @JeffreyWay

Yesterday I was updating the profile description of the Laracasts. I had added some emojis to it. When I hit save it throws 500 server error.

Have you looked at your error log for more information on the 500? I think it may be related to your DB connection's collation/charset.

@Braunson This is something not from my end. This something at the end of Laracasts.

@dhpandya I don't think we support emoji for your profile description. But I just tried it out and didn't get a 500 error. I'll keep looking into it, though.

@JeffreyWay It Still gives me the error. when using the emojis in the profile description. Below are the steps to replicate the issue.

  • Visit settings -> Account settings -> Short Bio
  • I'm on windows 11 and using the default tray for the emojis
  • I updated this 🧑‍💻and hit saved.
  • It shows me 500 page as shown above in the URL.

Thanks for the following up on the thread.
