---###----------[[DESCRIPTION]]----------###---

I've been working on a game and I just recently tested how the DataStore is going and if it works and it turns out it doesn't save at all and I get no error. What is the problem with my DataStore and why won't it save?

---###----------[[UPDATE]]----------###---

I forgot you could test DataStores in studio so I tested it and I got the error "104: Cannot store Array in data store. Datastores can only accept valid UTF-8 characters.", but I have no idea what it means and I don't know what UTF-8 characters are.

P.S. I haven't scripted in about a year and I never really used tables so if I used them wrong please tell me and explain what I got wrong!
