数据库支持emoji表情

从MySQL5.5.3开始,MySQL 支持一种utf8mb4的字符集，这个字符集能够支持４字节的UTF8编码的字符。utf8mb4字符集能够完美地兼容utf8字符串。在数据存储方面，当一个普通中文字符存入数据库时仍然占用３个字节，在存入一个Unified Emoji表情的时个它会自动占用４个字节。所以在输入输出时都不会存在乱码的问题了。

由于utf8mb4是utf8的超集，从utf8升级到utf8mb4不会有任何的问题，直接升级即可；如果从别的字符集如gb2312或者gbk转化而来，一定要先备份数据库。然后，修改MySQL的配置文件/etc/my.cnf,修改连接默认字符集为utf8mb4，然后在连接数据库以后首先执行一句SQL:SET NAMES utf8mb4;

修改如下:

# cat /etc/my.cnf
# update --

[mysql]
# CLIENT #
port                           =
socket                         = /data1/dbdata/mysql.sock
default-character-set          = utf8mb4 #关键点１

[mysqld]
# GENERAL #
user                           = mysql
default-storage-engine         = InnoDB
character-set-server           = utf8mb4　#关键点２

查看可以查看编码是否已经修改成功：

mysql> show variables like 'character%';
+--------------------------+---------+
| Variable_name            | Value   |
+--------------------------+---------+
| character_set_client     | utf8    |
| character_set_connection | utf8    |
| character_set_database   | utf8    |
| character_set_filesystem | binary  |
| character_set_results    | utf8    |
| character_set_server     | utf8mb4 |
| character_set_system     | utf8    |
| character_sets_dir       |         |
+--------------------------+---------+
 rows in set (0.00 sec)

utf8 转utf8mb4就可以支持emoji表情了

当重启mysql后，再次登录的时候，出现下面的情况:

[root@db228 ~]# mysql
mysql: Character set 'utf8mb4' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml' file

还需要修改一个修数：

修改表的字符集:

mysql> alter table table_name convert to character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;

打印机不能打印"emoji表情"！！！！！！！！所以最好不要存emoji表情。
