Background:
I just ran into a problem with iPhone emoji characters being saved into
MySQL. The text was cut off after the first emoji character. After some
research I found which explains how it works:

The recommendation is to use MySQL 5.5, and the "utf8mb4" encoding.
Suggestion:
Make "utf8mb4" the default encoding for MySQL 5.5 and up.
