The default has been utf8mb4 for a number of years now. Before that it was just utf8. Don't recall ever using mb3 except the "old" utf8 might be called mb3 now because I do recall it was 3 bytes and we needed to migrate to utf8mb4 to support some of the "newer" emojis - but iirc this was 5-8 years ago.

It's strange the tables on my server are mb3. I will "fix" it. Site may be down for an hour or so

Yes, my concern was the following: if you send the same message to 50 different sites and just one does not accept the message because of the smiley, then it is better to notify the site administrator, because obviously there is something wrong with that side.
