How To Fix
1. Check the character set of the database:SELECT default_character_set_name FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA S WHERE schema_name = "database_name";
2. Change the character set of the database:ALTER DATABASE database_name CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
3. Check the character set of the tables:SELECT CCSA.character_set_name FROM information_schema.`TABLES` T, information_schema.`COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY` CCSA WHERE CCSA.collation_name = T.table_collation AND T.table_schema = "database_name" AND T.table_name = "table_name";
4. Change the character set of the tables:ALTER TABLE table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
5. Check the character set of the columns:SELECT character_set_name FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS` WHERE table_schema = "database_name" AND table_name = "table_name" AND column_name = "column_name";
6. Change the character set of the columns:ALTER TABLE table_name CHANGE column_name column_name VARCHAR(191) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
