Bug: Error Message When Using Symbols In The Open Graph Description
BOFHJunior
This post is for Helix Ultimate Version: 2.1.2, SPPB Version: 5.5.4, Joomla Version: 5.2.5, no Template is used.
When i use the 💡, 🤔, 🌹, 💐, 💍 or 📷 Symbols in the SPPB Options -> SEO -> Open Graph Description field (https://i.imgur.com/oyShlCu.png) i cannot save these changes because of an error message:
For 💡 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\x92\xA1 for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
For 🤔 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\xA4\x94 for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
For 🌹 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\x8C\xB9 for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
For 💐 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\x92\x90 for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
For 💍 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\x92\x8D for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
For 📷 it is: Error Incorrect string value: \xF0\x9F\x93\xB7 for column Database Name.g39cq_sppagebuilder.og_description at row 1
As you can see in the Screenshot these Symbols in the Meta Description field are no problem and can be saved. Only when used in the Open Graph Description field these error messages appear.
Other Symbols like ✓, ☎, ✅, ✊, ✉ or ❗from the same font Segoe UI Emoji are no problem and can be saved in the Open Graph Description field without an error message.
Expecation: All Symbols from the font Segoe UI Emoji can be used in the Open Graph Description field.

Accepted AnswerHi Ofi, i saw, that the mentioned Symbols are now usable in the Open Graph Description.
I just wanted to ask, if the issue was solved in general or only for these 6 symbols?
