Laravel table saves wrong data

Question

I have string column in my table which supposed to store unique tokens but instead it stores something like this:

??6?i!a\????5?&?9?

Code

controller

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

public function store(Request $request)
{
  $recipient = new RsvpPerson;
  $recipient->token = Str::random(20);
  $recipient->save();
}

Schema

Schema::create('rsvp_people', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->uuid('id')->primary();
    $table->string('token')->unique();
    $table->timestamps();
}

any idea?

@KamleshPaul yes mix of letters and numbers, capital or not... — mafortis, Oct 16 '20 at 04:29
@KamleshPaul I think I must install helper package (trying it now...) https://stackoverflow.com/a/58163479/8490993 — mafortis, Oct 16 '20 at 04:32
using laravel 7, apparently they've removed it from defaults — mafortis, Oct 16 '20 at 04:34
What does `echo Illuminate\Support\Str::random(10);` return? — Ron van der Heijden, Oct 16 '20 at 10:03

I'm not sure why laravel helper doesn't work but using this solved the problem

str_random(20)
