Hi. 
In a custom profile field when a user register on the forum, for example, if I copy and paste WakaMachi👻#7756 into custom profile field, it looks like database cannot store emoji part, which is 👻. And 👻 is displayed as ? (so my whole custom profile field, which I entered WakaMachi👻#7756 first time when register, become and is shown as WakaMachi?#7756). How can I modify database so that my custom profile field can store emoji 👻 correctly?

Go to Home » System Health » UTF-8 Conversion and make sure to convert the userfields table to 4-Byte UTF-8.

It worked for me. Did you update your profile field value? Your users will need to update their values for the emojis to be saved from now on.
