With Twemoji-Picker you can save your message to a database!

The message : 'Twemoji-picker 😀 👍' is converted into Twemoji-picker &#x1f600 &#x1f44dso it can be saved to an utf8mb4 table.

When retrieving the data, you will need the twemoji.js to parse the Unicode.

Convert your table and column to utf8mb4.

ALTER TABLE mytable charset=utf8mb4, MODIFY COLUMN mycolumn CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;

And for each query use

SET NAMES utf8mb4.
