Database error

I've been getting this error whilst trying to post.
Consistently for half an hour or so

Clear your browser cache and try again.

I'll do a maintenance run on the db. There was a short series of db issues pertaining to a couple of other members as well.

You didn't use some special characters, like an Emoij?

The error log message complains about a character not in the multi-lingual base set.

No special characters.
Though it did let me post the words "test message",  it wouldn't let me post what I wanted to write...

Strange bug that hit you and another member this afternoon?? Everything else went smoothly, or at least, the logs don't show error messages other than the two concerning you and another member.

Technically, the error is trigged when a 4-byte string is sent into the db, which only handles 2 or 3 byte entries.
