> When creating databases and tables with mysql/mariadb on Windows servers, the default character set is UTF8MB3. The character set UTF8MB3 allows for columns to store up to 3 bytes.
> The display_symbol column in the fineract_default.m_currency table requires 4bytes, so if the default character set is used when creating the database fineract_default with the following command:
> _CREATE DATABASE fineract_default_
> then the migration script to insert the currencies will fail with an error similar to:
> _Incorrect string value: `\xE2\x82\xA1` for column display_symbol ..._
> To rectify this, the default character set has to be overridden when creating the fineract_default database with the following command
> _CREATE DATABASE fineract_default_ CHARACTER SET utf8mb4
> This allows for the 4bytes needed to store the data in the m_currency.display_symbol and the migration script will run just fine.
