When I try to use an apostrophe in my horse's name I get a white screen with the following error, and the name doesn't update:

Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='172

Using Safari on an iPhone.

Not sure if this is a bug - assuming it is!

Also seems to be a problem using it in thread titles, as my apostrophe in the title has been replaced with a ? 😅

I think its called Smart Punctuation in your phone settings, tis an iphone thing ^^

Edit: the question mark i think is caused by smart punctuation, I havent heard about anyone getting an error message like that before

Ooh yes you're right, thank you - I disabled it and am now able to use apostrophes 🎉 Yeah the error message was most alarming!

That said, it's not a problem on any other websites so think it still belongs in bugs. Don't particularly want to switch it off as it sounds helpful aha.

Tried it again and still getting the error:

Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='172

Tested this on my laptop and am still having issues with apostrophes in horse names. Weirdly, apostrophe's work fine in the horse name from my laptop, but when editing the name the apostrophe is deleting itself from the editable text field to change the horse's name. Because it's automatically deleting itself, you have to keep adding the apostrophe if you want to update the horse's name (e.g. to add genetics, production etc).
