 Hi @mshekow
 WordPress core Trac is one of the places where we follow-up development of
 and bufs/fixes for WordPress core.
 In this case, I'm not yet convinced that this is actually a problem in
 WordPress core. While troubleshooting, a better place to discuss would be
 our support forums, https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-
 troubleshooting/


 Anyway. Start by double-checking which character encoding your database
 uses for the table "wp_posts" (wp_ may be something else, depending on
 which prefix you chose when installing). Preferred encoding is utf8mb4
 nowadays.
 If you need to convert your database, then remember to first save a
 backup. Next keep in mind that conversion happens one database table at a
 time. (The general database settings for encoding and collation are only
 used as fallback values when NEW tables are created.)
 You can search online for step-by-step instructions "Convert tables to
 utf8mb4 mariadb" or similar.

 I'm going to close this ticket, since there's nothing yet that requires
 follow-up from WordPress core point of view. If you still find that
 there's an error in WordPress itself, then please add details for how to
 replicate this problem (preferably on a fresh WordPress install with no
 plugins) and re-open the ticket.
