### Modify database connection

[](#modify-database-connection)

This extension parses text emoji to unicode symbols (for example ':D' => '😃'). For proper saving to the database, it is necessary to have the correct charset both in the database settings and in the connection to the database in the `config/db.php` configuration file.

For example, you can use **utf8mb4** charset.
