Hi @leondz,

OJS itself is ready for advanced unicode, but your MySQL database and collation configuration may not be. Try searching this forum for utf8mb4 and you’ll find a few related threads.

There will be two elements involved in converting your database over to supporting advanced unicode:

  • Changing the config.inc.php file to support the right character set and collation. The new settings will be:
    • collation = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    • connection_charset = utf8mb4
  • Converting your database; see e.g. this StackOverflow discussion.
