Emoticons in custom field

[MAIN]

We want to use custom fields in a product and everything works fine. But if some customer will use emoticons by using smartphone keyboard the custom message will be cut at the first emoticon.

For example if we use "Hallo ihr Lieben! 🍀Um euch den Tag zu versüßen mal etwas andere Grüße. 🍫" then the message will be "Hallo ihr Lieben!" .... I already switched the table ps_customized_data to utf8mb4_general_ci but this didn't fix it ...

Any ideas ? For me it would be fine if there couldn't be used any emoticons in the message filed ...

Thank you !

Remove not ASCII characters from a string:

return preg_replace('/[[:^print:]]/', '', $text);

or

return preg_replace('/[^\pL\pM[:ascii:]]+/g', '', $text);
