This kind of bug gives me nightmares. I'm afraid to ask how long it took you to solve.

  2 days to identify and understand the problem because I wasn't able to reproduce at all, only on prod. Then ~1 day to fix but I've decided to handle not emojis per se, but unicode characters (which makes more sense but requires more knowledge) which was finished within the next 2 days. In the meantime I set up a test project with PostgreSQL, 3 MySQL databases and 2 MS SQL Server so all operations were executed on all 6 at once. The worst thing is Django won't raise an exception on max_length exceeded even with MS SQL because on the application level its length is 1, so only the DB (DataError on constraint created by Django) will complain.
