Example: If you post "Someone once told me that pushing Start gave them 🐾, which is the second worst joke I've heard today", the post will terminate at "...Start gave them". The remaining content is completely lost and unrecoverable.

This is because MySQL's UTF8 encoding isn't actually UTF8. Surprise!

The fix is to upgrade MySQL and use the fancy "utf8_mb4" (or w/e), but shared hosting. I'll check and see if it's available yet. I know it wasn't when I did the big Unicode conversion a few months ago

You can get around this by using html entities. Since they're stored as the HTML entity (ampersand, numbers, semicolon) they save (and display) just fine.

You can get around this in this way, too. As in, if utf8_mb4 was found unavailable, we could just convert all astral plane Unicode characters to HTML entities before sticking them in the database.

That's true, but I'd rather just go the route of updating the database to actually handle unicode properly instead of hoping and praying I find all the various places I have to encode and decode the entities. Especially as some of them, like < and >, should probably not be decoded again.

It would be less trouble to just write a big ALTER. That way I could nail every field at once.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
