Bad Comments broke order?

Hi

Never happened before, error from log is -

[20-Jun-2018 17:50:34 Australia/Perth] PHP Fatal error: 1366:Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x98\x80 Y...' for column 'comments' at row 1 :: INSERT INTO orders_status_history (orders_id, orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, comments) VALUES ('9240', '2', now(), '1', 'BIg Happy Happy Birthday LOVE from us in ########## Wishing you a fantastic day of celebrations Maja - enjoy the tunes😀 You are in our thoughts and in our heart 💓 Tatti and Laney xxx ') ==> (as called by) /.../zencart/includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 965 <== in /.../zencart/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 155

The result was I got the order, successful payment from paypal, however no products or delivery address information was recorded.

I've seen all sorts of emojis and weird characters put in comments - but this has never happened before - any ideas?
