Using emoji cuts my post off

Wei Huang

I tried to add some emoji and when I press 'Post', it gets cut off after the emoji?

Testing   asdasdasd.
Edit: Looks like it happens if I try to paste the actual emoji character instead of the :code: form

And this “:code: form” would be…?

:code: form is called "shortcode"

I don’t know the technical details about this forum’s software setup, but it seems to me like it’s having the exact same issue as: http://pento.net/2014/04/07/wordpress-and-utf-8/ (in short: the database’s encoding does not support characters not in Unicode’s BMP and cuts off posts as a result).

This is still an active bug, by the way – might be worth mentioning to the Vanilla team.

Please don't fix it.

Hrant you are such a party pooper.

It affects any character outside BMP not just emoji. Actually thanks to emoji many software now has better Unicode support as software developers can’t dismiss requests to support characters outside BMP as being exotic anymore.
