Bugs Find Me – Streemian

in bugsfindme •  8 years ago 

Special characters are not saved properly by scheduling service.


What I Wanted?

I wanted to schedule a post with special characters (e.g. arrow).

What Happened

Streemian's Scheduled Posts service put my post in the queue, also post it when it's been set for.

The problem is that it don't use the special characters but ? instead.

My Thoughts

In the time of emojis users need the support of non-alphabetical characters.
I publish this post via Streemian, and in the small letter section I use special characters. We will see if the problem still exist.

It should show up like this image:

Fixed it ..

TIL: MySQL's utf8 only supports 3 bytes and you need to alter your columns to the utf8mb4 charset in order to support emojis (which require 4 bytes)

Thanks for your fast response and the fix! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the report, I will look into it!
