Emoji Support in 4.3?

Recommended Posts

In announcing the 4.3 upgrade (4.3.1) to my forum, I posted a few emoji under the "emoji now supported!" sub-heading, proudly announcing support.

The emoji showed up just fine in the post. I can edit the post and add them back in, in fact.

?‍♂️ and ?? and ?️ were among them.

But when I hit submit, they showed up like this:

I'm using the latest version of Safari on the latest version of macOS, which supports emoji quite well.

So what is causing the issue? My forums_posts table has a "post" row with UTF-8 encoding. Should that have been converted to something else? Do other rows need to be converted to something else, too?

P.S. The emoji seem to work here, at IPS.

You need utf8mb4 (for the suite and the MySQL tables), not just utf8. 

Yeah, I just upgraded the posts row in the forums_posts and that seems to work.

The question is then why didn't the upgrade scripts properly do this for me? I imagine there are lots of other parts where this is needed - blog posts, blog comments, gallery image comments, status updates… PMs… etc.

Thank you @opentype.

The option is in the ACP - can't remember where and can't locate now because all my DBs are already converted.

In this topic…

A user suggested it was in the sidebar. But my sidebar doesn't have an "Enable utf8mb4" script.

Make sure you conf_global doesn’t claim you have mb4 enabled, when that’s not actually the case. 


  'sql_utf8mb4' => true,

 

Yeah that was it.

Support was pretty quick about it.

Thank you.
