You absolutely could put your Smilies in to a binary field, but _before_
you send them to PutSQL you need to convert them to Binary using something like
string.getBytes("UTF-8"). At that point they become plain bytes and they
should load without issue.
To get the flow file into Binary I would use the Base64EncodeContent
processor first, then use RelaceText to move it to an attribute, and finally
push it using PutSQL with the 'base64' option.
