Unicode emoji in $wpdb->insert

[loranrendel]

When trying using $wpdb->insert with if containing unicode emoji 😉, the method returns false and no inserts happens.

It happens inside following core code in _insert_replace_helper:

$data = $this->process_fields( $table, $data, $format );
if ( false === $data ) {
	return false;
}

Thanks for the ticket @loranrendel! I think that this might be a duplicate of #32315. It deals with the same general issue of $wpdb->insert() failing without an error message. If others agree, we can close this as a duplicate, since there is already some discussion and a patch on that ticket.

Duplicate of #32315.

Didn't mean to remove the emoji from description, not sure what happened here.
