It works but you cant preview.
Thanks all for help.
Closing.

The forum software is not aware of unicode at all. It just spits out whatever bytes it's given. If some emoji characters don't display properly, it's a problem with your browser or with the character bytes entered by the poster.

I may be wrong, but isn't character rendering client sided? I doubt there would be any problems on the forum side, as long as the browser is updated to support it. Either way, I doubt this version of the forum will add those sorts of plugins anytime soon.

😂 It should be client-side.

🤣 I've pasted emojis to the left of my sentences.

🤑 Though, I don't really care much for these images.



Hi, @staff
Unicode 9.0 support for SMF 1.1.19?
Any news about how new forum soft will handle Unicode updates?
My main concern is lack of emoji support. Would love to use those in my rounds & games thread.
I will be surprised (massively) if such support get added to current  forum Smiley
No harm to ask, right? Now it is kinda painful to test which smiley does work or not.
If this is a 'no no' I can fully understand, better to focus on new software.

Perhaps you aren't using the browser-based emojis, which I found over here: http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html - and that may have been the reason as to why you were unable to use them in your threads.
