WordPress database error

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client encountered a database error in WordPress after logging in, indicating an issue with some tables. The error was related to invalid data in a query, which included emojis or similar characters that the database character encoding might not support.
Solution:
We recommend editing the section titled "ACTIONS TO TAKE TO STAND OUT IN A SATURATED MARKET" and removing any emojis or similar characters, leaving only the text content. After making these changes, attempt to translate the content again. If the problem persists, we suggest looking at the solution provided in a similar support ticket:

Prosenjit Barman WPML Supporter since 03/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I understand the issue you're having and will try my best to assist you in this matter. The issue you're facing typically arises from the inclusion of emojis or similar characters in your content. Your database might be using a character encoding that doesn't support characters like emojis. I recommend editing the section titled "ACTIONS TO TAKE TO STAND OUT IN A SATURATED MARKET" and, if you've included any emojis or similar characters, please remove them and keep only the text content. After saving these changes, try to translate again. I hope it will help. If you're still having the issue, please try the solution mentioned in the following ticket. - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/database-error-cant-perform-query/ Let me know if that helps or if you need further assistance in this matter.
