I convert db and all my tables to `utf8mb4` / `utf8mb4_unicode_ci` in (10.5-MariaDB)
But i still cant use emoji :-(

MySQL / MariaDB stores encoding and collations in various places, including as a database default, table default, and for each column separately. Thus, if you have an existing database, you need to transfer each text / varchar column to utf8mb4 separately.

I changed the encoding to `utf8mb4_general_ci` in every place where you can select the encoding. And in the database and in every table and in every vchar/text/long field, and still I see error 500 when I try to add emoji to any field.
I also see error 500 right here on https://www.redmine.org/ when I try to create any record with emoji.

I was able to fix this by setting REDMINE_DB_ENCODING=utf8mb4 in the docker image env, plus altering the collation of existing database and tables:
ALTER DATABASE redmine DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci ALTER TABLE issues CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE journals CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE journal_details CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
If you don't use Docker, you should probably check the config/database.yml file:
production: adapter: "mysql2" host: "mysql" port: "3306" username: "redmine" password: "secret" database: "redmine" encoding: "utf8mb4"
