Techies at theregister.co.uk told me mysql cant persist some types of utf8 chars in their forums. Its not deliberate but common emojis dont work there too. Anyone know if HN uses mysql?
- kick 7y agoNews, the software behind HN, doesn't, no. The filter for emojis is deliberate.
- noisem4ker 7y agoI can attest MySQL 8.0 eats up emoji characters with no fuss.
- tingletech 7y agomysql `utf8` is only 3 byte -- you have to specify something different that `utf8` to get full utf8 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-unicode-sets.html https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-unicode-sets...
- Deimorz 7y agoHN doesn't even use a database.
- paulfurtado 7y agoMySQL has multiple Unicode character sets. The one named "utf8" doesn't support all of utf8, but utf8mb4 supports it all.
