I did check my MariaDB (as Mark hinted) and found that it set for utf8 rather than utf8mb4. I'd be willing to change this, but would I also have to do something to update the Mailman databases since those tables are already created?
I found this mentioned in a post by thoralf from 2020. Quoting from https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/...
I've checked - database, table and columns were utf8mb4 already, whereas the connection to the db apparently not. Adding 'charset': 'utf8mb4' to the options-dict in the databases-variable in /etc/mailman3/mailman-web.py fixed the issue - django passes this on to mysqlclient. case closed :)
I can confirm this (running MM3 on Debian 11).
