 * I believe this due to the configuration of the CHARSET / COLLATION of the database
   tables created by Connections which uses the same values as WordPress uses to
   create it tables. Since the tables are already created, you will need to alter
   the`{prefx}_connections` table COLLATION to utf8mb4_general_ci or utf8_general_ci.
   By default WordPress uses one of these, so a different value must have been set
   in the `wp-config.php` file.
 * Hope that helps.
