Comment (by salzano):

 I think this is the same bug but with a different behavior because there
 is no error message.

 When using the Full Site Editor to edit a Template Part, the Save button
 appears to work, but no changes are saved after pasting in the US flag
 emoji into the template 🇺🇸. My database collation is utf8mb4_unicode_ci.

 Here are steps to reproduce on 6.4.3 and using the free FotaWP theme:

 1. Go to Appearance > Editor > Patterns > Template Parts > Footer.
 2. Paste the US flag emoji into a paragraph block in the template.
 3. Press Save twice.
 4. View a page that uses the Footer Template Part, see no changes.
