 * I used wordpress 5.5.3 after I updated to lastest version (5.6.2) I have problem
 * I have post name slug in Thai which uses UTF-8 character. Many of them encode
   into super long in ASCII e.g. วิธีการหลีกเลี่ยงข้อผิดพลาดทั้ง-8-ในชีวิตการแต่งงาน
 * I’ve changed the type of “post_name” using phpMyAdmin to VARCHAR(1500) and collation
   to utf8_unicode_ci.
 * In .htaccess I edited
 * **<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * In Formatting.php I edited
 * **$title = utf8_uri_encode( $title, 1500 );**
 * However, in my WordPress backend editor, the above post name is still automatically
   cut to วิธีการหลีกเลี่ยงข้อผิ when I try to save the URL.
 * I don’t know where the problem is, I don’t use a plugin about permalink
 * What wrong? How to fix?
 * Thank you
