Subject: [PATCH] Use utf8mb4 to connect to the database.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

if you use a mysql client and do "SET NAMES utf8mb4;" the pm and
tag names should be correct now. Test this by creating a pm and or
tag with unicode characters like ë, æ, ç or 😉

This will *NOT* correct previously created data. Convert this data
before switching or you will get mojibake.
