This fix changes the character set of the database so that players with Emoji's in their name can be banned. Since the source engine can't parse Emoji's, the value for the player's emoji is random text in the sourcebans database. Sourcemod installer needs to be updated to use the following for database setup: Character Set: utf8mb4 Collation: utf8mb4_unicode_ci

This fix changes the character set of the database so that players with Emoji's in their name can be banned. Since the source engine can't parse Emoji's, the value for the player's emoji is random text in the sourcebans database.
Description
Replaces all instances of utf8 with utf8mb4
Motivation and Context
Players with emoji in name could not be banned (because default character set configured by installer does not take into account the 4 bytes needed for emoji).
How Has This Been Tested?
I installed the plugin change on 10 servers.
