Adding extra emojis!

[kybarg]

Parsing posts from twitter. Sometimes it adds extra emoji after some twitters emojis. I store data in MySQL with utf8mb4_general_ci collation

@kybarg I change my collation to utf8mb4_general_ci, But it converts them to question mark (????)
What is the solution?

@kybarg can you give an example, with a link to the tweet? it might be skin-tone modifiers

@vahidvdn did you change it before writing data to db?

got another tweet with some more missing https://twitter.com/micahstubbs/status/821791361909174272

I also face the same problem, if using iPhone embed the emoji. It was embed extra icon, i think is because the colour tone issue.

this is caused by the new composite gendered emoji. i have an update in the works that will address this.

these emoji are now supported in the latest version of the data library that this library relies on.
