JPR sent it, although I may not need it since Keisuke Miyako let me know about the unicode methods setting. Thanks everyone!

The listbox displays it nicely too. Thanks!

Re: Emoticons, Emoji, put pictures into eve
sounds like your compatibility settings does not allow methods to be stored in unicode. emoticons are internally 2 or 4 combining characters which explains the number of question marks ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: Emoticons, Emoji, put pictures into eve
I tried to use an emoji in 4D, and while it pasted right into a string literal
in the method editor, it doesn’t actually work that way and turns into ?? when
you close the method editor. So I found this email to the list from a few years
ago, but the ftp link no longer works. This should be supported natively by now
(maybe in v17?) but could anyone send me this emoji method?
Thanks!
