How to add emoji compatibility for this addon?

If someone adds emoji, it is shown as ???? in the review, but it is shown as emoji in the review confirmation email.

I see that this add-on needs an update.
So better to wait until Tim has updated this.
He will see this.

To allow emojis to be stored in database go to Admin -> Languages -> Storage Encoding and convert all tables to a utf8mb4 collation.

Version 2.6.2. In "Admin -> Languages -> Storage Encoding" I changed the encoding to "utf8mb4_unicode_ci, InnoDB" - it did not help.
Then in includes/config.inc.php I changed the line: define('DB_CONNECTION_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4'); - it also did not help.
As a result, in includes/app_header.inc.php at the very bottom I added the line:
database::query("SET NAMES 'utf8mb4'");
And it worked for me! Emoji started to display correctly.
