How can i send Emoji with Http POST request

I have an application which send data to MySQL server with http request, But in the server show "????" instead of emoji. When I insert data manual in the server no problem with emoji. (Collation = utf8mb4_general_ci)

My code to send data in android:

public static String sendData(String Address, HashMap hashMap)
{
    try
    {
        Object[] keys = hashMap.keySet().toArray();
        Object[] values = hashMap.values().toArray();

        String data = Utils.Encoder(keys[0].toString(), values[0].toString());
        for (int i = 1; i < hashMap.size(); i++)
        {
            data+= "&" + Utils.Encoder(keys[i].toString(), values[i].toString());
        }




        URL url = new URL(Address);

        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();


        connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        connection.setRequestProperty("USER-AGENT", "Mozilla/5.0");
        connection.setRequestProperty("ACCEPT-LANGUAGE", "en-US,en;0.5");
        connection.setDoOutput(true);
        DataOutputStream dStream = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());
        dStream.writeBytes(data);
        dStream.flush();
        dStream.close();

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
        String line = "";
        StringBuilder responseOutput = new StringBuilder();

        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
        {
            responseOutput.append(line);
        }
        br.close();

        return responseOutput.toString();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return null;
}

public static String getData(String Address)
{
    URL url = null;
    try
    {
        url = new URL(Address);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
        connection.setRequestProperty("USER-AGENT", "Mozilla/5.0");
        connection.setRequestProperty("ACCEPT-LANGUAGE", "en-US,en;0.5");

        InputStream in = connection.getInputStream();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
        String line = "";
        StringBuilder responseOutput = new StringBuilder();
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
        {
            responseOutput.append(line);
        }
        br.close();
        return responseOutput.toString();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "";
}

public static String Encoder(String key, String value)
{

    try
    {
        return URLEncoder.encode(base64Key, "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(base64Value, "UTF-8");
    }
    catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "";
}
}

I think my encoder have problem, so i use Base64 method instead of UTF-8:

public static String Encoder(String key, String value)
{

    byte[] valueBytes =  value.getBytes();
    byte[] keyBytes =  key.getBytes();
    return Base64.encodeToString(valueBytes,Base64.DEFAULT) + "=" + Base64.encodeToString(keyBytes,Base64.DEFAULT);

    }

But when i use this, does not to show anything in server.

and this is my php code:(it is not all code)

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
$conn->set_charset('utf8mb4');

if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}


if (!$conn->set_charset("utf8")) {
printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", $mysqli->error);
} else {
$conn->character_set_name();
}

$alias=$_POST['Alias'];
$text=$_POST['Text'];

Edited: I want to send data with Persian character

In php code I should use utf8mb4 for charset:

if (!$conn->set_charset("utf8mb4")) {
    printf("Error loading character set utf8: %s\n", $mysqli->error);
} else {
    $conn->character_set_name();
}

Everything is absolutely correct

I hope this will work for you.

Change Server connection collation as below

Collation = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Then send it without encode.
