title: Flutter saves emoji as a question mark
body: <p>I have a flutter app that saves text via an API to an SQL Server database. The problem is that if I try and save text that contains an emoji it gets saved in the db as a question mark. So consequently when the text gets displayed again it displays the question mark instead of the emoji.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to pass the text containing the emoji so that it gets encoded correctly?</p>
