Yes. Databases on our servers support Unicode, including emoji and all scripts such as Hindi, Arabic and Chinese.

  • Use the utf8mb4 character set, with a collation such as utf8mb4_unicode_ci. (The older utf8/utf8mb3 set cannot store emoji and some characters.)
  • Your application must also connect with utf8mb4; for example, WordPress sets define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4'); in wp-config.php.

You can check or change a table's character set in phpMyAdmin on the table's Operations tab.
