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:

only supports 3 bytes and you need to alter your columns to theutf8mb4
charset in order to support emojis (which require 4 bytes)Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
