I am curious if anyone has used Emojis in CiviMail content. I just tried a test mailing with an Emoji in the subject and message body, which show up fine in the editor but do not appear in the test message in my inbox.

@laryn the short answer is that for this to work your database needs to be changed. CiviCRM by standard sets things to be utf8_unicode_ci. You will need to convert database to utf8mb4_unicode_ci to allow for Emojis and you would need to change the setNames call in CiviCRM to be utf8mb4 as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7814293/how-to-insert-utf-8-mb4-characteremoji-in-ios5-in-mysql

So -- not supported without some hacking, at least at this point! Thanks. – Laryn - CEDC.org Nov 17 '16 at 20:11

Update: converting CiviCRM tables to
utf8mb4is in the roadmap: lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/wikis/utf8mb4 – Laryn - CEDC.org Feb 20 '19 at 18:37 -
Perhaps it would help to vote for lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/339 to remember to go for it? – Weidenrinde Apr 4 '20 at 9:41
