Emojies and Yoast

We tried replicating this issue and were able to use the Woman Cook emoji in the title, and verified that it was being output in the source code. See here: https://pasteboard.co/IePhZcy.png

Can you please give us the steps necessary to replicate the issue you are experiencing with the emoji?

Hi Devnihil
I tried to copypaste this emoji from different sources.
After tried to insert it into different Yoast templates. For example “Product”.
It not saving this change.
Also tried to save in General for organization – same result

Can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:
1. Check for conflicts.
2. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.
If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

Hi
Thanks for good advice. Just pay attention to quantity of same issues across the WEB. I think it’s not only with my website. I found thousands and thousands same issues about using Yoast and Emojies with different sites… all of them without resolving

Hi,

We are still unable to reproduce this issue. We need your help. Were you able to perform a conflict check? Did the issue still happen?

Can you describe where exactly you are placing those emojis? Are you able to take a screenshot of where you are entering them and what it looks like? You can use a tool like: https://pasteboard.co/ to share the image.

Hi
I will try to describe with screenshots.
1) I copy emojy “Woman Cook” from emojicopy.com
2) Paste into Yoast->Search Appearance->Content Types ->Products->Title (https://pasteboard.co/IfZ0ghg.png)
3)Click Save (https://pasteboard.co/IfZ0WaV.png)
4) And there any changes (https://pasteboard.co/IfZ1hGi.png)

Same with using Emojies in this site in any Yoast template or apart product. Directly to WordPress (for example in site settings) it saves without problem

To use an emoji, the database must be able to save them in the correct format. Please check that your database collation support saving emojis. The database (and the corresponding tables and entries) should support 4 byte collations with ‘utf8mb4’.

If you are unsure how to check this, please contact your server admin or webhost.

Hi Amboutwe!
Good tip. But why it saving good if i paste it without Yoast?
It looks that website database works fine

Unfortunately, we think the issue is specific to your site since we’re unable to reproduce it on our end. So, we’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.
