Hi there, we have a problem with unicode support on Appian cloud at two customers. A user pastes a emoji into a text field which is saved to datastore in process. The "Write to datastore" node breaks. After digging a bit I found out that MySQL is not configured to handle unicode correctly. The default charsets in MySQL are not able to save 4-byte characters. Is there anyone having a similar problem?

Thanks eliot, any specific recommendations when we're only using the out of the box MySQL DB that comes with cloud?

That reference appears to discuss how you might create a new V. Is there a table level option that can be changed without impacting the existing data already stored? (Or no risk of truncation caused by changing?) thanks Chris
