Emoji in Telegram push message

[mrtn 5]

Hi all

I am using the excellent Telegram push function as per below topic. I am trying to add an emoji inside of a push message. Have tried number of different unicode ways I found on google but none seem to work and the code comes through as text.

 

Amongst the ones I have tried are:

 

U+1F600

u'\U000026C4'

\u{1F604}

\xF0\x9F\x98\x81

 

etc

Hi @mrtn,

 

I use table where I store all emoji UTF codes:

and then when I need it I add it to the string with this method:

This will be available with new version of Sunrise & Sunset VD which will add emoji table to global variable and then will be available for all other code.

 

BTW I get this codes on Apple Mac. Mac shows codes in hexadecimal format but I translated them to decimal because hexadecimal notation was not working for me.

 

I don't use Telegram push at the moment but above is working with Fibaro push and popup messages and emoji are shown properly on Apple and Android devices and only Windows has problems but that is expected

@Sankotronic just looking at the emoji codes on google and can't find any UTF format to match yours. Would you mind explaining where you get the codes from? Thanks

yes, this is the only solution I found, to add to code fixed decimal UTF8 emoji code.

My code table bellow, then in LUA code replace it.

Hi,

 

I get all emoji's codes from my Apple computer. When I copy character info and I paste it to plain text document it looks like this:

Then I change UTF-8 code in hexadecimal format F0 9F 92 A1 to decimal format and use \ to tell LUA that it is byte format:

Like this it is possible to make table of emojis and even store it to global variable so it will be available to all code on HC2. That is what I did for UHAS and here is document with all emojis that will be available in UHAS:

Since different operating system uses different approach to display emojis it is possible that you will not be able to see some of the emojis on Windows and some will look differently on Android devices. Even older Apple Mac OS will not be able to show some of the newer emojis while others will look differently than on the latest macOS.
