General error: 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x91\x95 \xF0...' for column 'value' at row one

Answer 1

Bro, all tables and fields, as well as the database itself - put down utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_general_ci. The error will not be thrown. Next, follow the database connection config, look for the key in the "charset" array and write there (where the value is) "utf8mb4"
