I have been trying to submit a code snippet for a message box macro that informs viewers that a page is under construction, and in my code, I use “” (U+1F6A7, Construction Sign Emoji) as a visual aide. Upon saving the page on the Snippets Wiki, it returns HTTP 500 errors. Luckily, I was able to get to the point where I was getting a more verbose error message—I think I tried saving from the preview instead. Here’s the log:

This would suggest that the DB column into which the text of my snippet is being stored is not configured to accept such emoji. And as a result, I can’t submit the snippet. Meanwhile, the code works perfectly on my wiki, emoji and all.
Is there any way around this? I’m obviously not suggesting altering your database tables; that would be extreme. I could also obviously just change my snippet to have something other than an emoji, but I thought I would bring this issue up in case it is something of which you should be aware.
EDIT: Sure enough, replacing the emoji with an image worked. That process was more difficult than expected, however.
