I don't know if this has any relevance, but please note that the MySQL
"utf8" character set is not UTF-8.

It's the subset of UTF-8 that consists of up to three-byte UTF-8
glyph. If you have a four-byte UTF-8 glyph, this fails.

MySQL failed to fix this issue, and instead introduced another
character set, "utf8mb4".

Everyone who wants to use UTF-8 datatypes SHOULD use this character
set to avoid nasty surprises.
