Question 4 byte UTF-8 Support

[dyrer]

hello
I am running Plesk Onyx with MariaDB, and I Want to enable 4 Byte UTF-8 support for Drupal
How can I do it ?

MariaDB 5.5 or newer support the utf8mb4 character set by default (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/supported-character-sets-and-collations/). There should not be any need for a configuration change in the database server. However, the application must instruct the database to use utf8mb4 after it connects to the db, for instance in PHP MySQLi:

$_SESSION['conn']->set_charset('utf8mb4');

with $_SESSION['conn'] being the MySQLi object.
