Emoji gone from signature after moving to new server

^ I remember having 3 emoji for the 3 links in my signature. Now I only have 1 with others being replaced by ?
 
The database needs to be converted?

Running the conversion script

Log in to your server using SSH, or open a command prompt over Remote Desktop if you are using a Windows server.

When you have a command line available, change your current working directory to your XenForo directory. You will know that you are in the correct directory, as it will contain a script called cmd.php.

You can now run the following command:

php cmd.php xf:convert-utf8mb4

https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/unicode/
 
I believe this should be sorted now. It was related to some bad default values with mysqldump which can lead to subtle loss of 4 byte UTF-8 characters, even if you're already using utf8mb4. We had to do some trickery to get the correct values in.

If you notice anywhere where emojis are missing, let us know.
