What I have:
I have a column defined as varchar(255). The default charset of the database is UTF-8.

What I'm trying to do:
Saving the string i'm a unicode string 😁 should properly persist it to the database.

What happens:
The emoji is replaced.

Why does it happen?
FIBPlus already properly encodes the string. What I think happens is that by setting the sqlsubtype the string gets transliterated on the server to the UnicodeFSS Charset (which per https://firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd25-charsets.html has some problems).
By removing the sqlsubtype assignment, I'm able to properly save and retrieve the emoji.
