I had to modify connection.php as shown here:
I’m not sure if Wappler handles this automatically now.
what is the exact value stored in your database? Can you share a screenshot please?
Do you have a direct access to your database like using phpmyadmin to check directly the db values?
So they don’t seem to be stored properly? Are you sure you have set the database encoding / table collation to utf8mb4?
same result ???
You use PHP?
Edit dmxConnectLib/lib/db/Connection.php line 61:
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8',
change it to:
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8mb4',
ok it work fine ! Thank you

Hey @patrick,
Any idea how to make it work on a NodeJS project too?
Also, since I’m on a Docker hosting, is there any easy way to convert the table to utf8mb4? 
bump - I’d like to know this too for Node JS
You can add the utf8mb4 charset to your connection settings. Also make sure the database/table encoding to utf8mb4
