HI.
In PC6.b7 if i try save emoji (kay and hammer) i have error.

The save failed with the following error: Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x9B\xA0\xEF\xB8...' for column `database`.`XXX_phocacart_products`.`description_long` at row 1.

I think the setting is too restrictive.

Hi, are you sure, you database is correctly set or your Joomla! I don't have any problem with saving emoji in description long:

We have
utf8mb3_general_ci
but probably for emoij we need 4bytes.
utf8mb4_general_ci

Thanks Jan.
