 * This could be originating from one of your other plugins which is using WooCommerce
   functions. To find out, temporarily deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce.
   Do you get the error message now?
 * If not, reactivate the other plugins one-by-one and check for the message to 
   try to identify which plugin its coming from.
 * Please post a link to the front of your site, not the admin side.

 * If you temporarily deactivate *all* plugins except WooCommerce, do all the errors
   go away?
 * I understand it is an admin side problem but sometimes the front side can give
   some clues.

 * I don’t know what theme you have since you’ve not shared your url.
 * Next thing to check is whether its coming from your theme. With all plugins except
   WooCommerce deactivated, temporarily switch to Storefront. Do you still have 
   the errors?

 * I think the thing to do is look for where charset is defined in your system. 
   It could be your site’s charset definition is different from everyone else and
   that’s why you are seeing the error and its not a general error. Please have 
   a look in wp-config.php. What is your define(‘DB_CHARSET line?
 * If you see a line:
    `define('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF-8;');`
 * change it to:
    `define('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF-8');`
 * so without the semi-colon.
 * Do you have any other charset lines in wp-config.php?

 * it is like this
 *     ```
       /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
       define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4' );
       ```

 * Hi there,
 * I think it might be worthwhile if we change tack for a moment to get a better
   understanding of your how the site is assembled. To do that, would you mind sharing
   a copy of your system status report here?
 * Thanks!
 *  [Lorro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorro/)

 * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/utf-8-not-supported/#post-11684951)
 * I should restore wp-config.php to what it was:
    `define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');`
   that’s good.
 * I concur with RK. The system status report may give more clues. For how to get
   it, see:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/before-posting-gather-the-following-details/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/before-posting-gather-the-following-details/)
 * If you’re handy with phpMyAdmin, it has a setting which will show a column on
   the tables table to show the charset for each table. Look for UTF-8; (with the
   semicolon) which is not valid.
 * Your theme vendor’s page is showing the last theme update as 29 June 19 (today!)
   so I should make sure you have that. I can’t find a changelog, so its not possible
   to say if the latest theme version will fix this problem.
