Hello Richmond.I have found that emojis also cause the <open printing to pdf> command to fail silently. Being able to strip emojis would be helpful for that as well.
I've been fooling about with your emoji stripping stack. Using codePointToNum(tEmojiChar) > 128511 doesn't seem to catch all the emoji characters... this cat head < đą > returns "128049" Also some emojis now have multiple skin colors < đ§ââď¸đ§đžââď¸ >and that seems to throw a monkeywrench into the works, too. When I posted this to the forum I see that the second merman is followed by a <brown swatch> and then a <male sign>. However, the second merman I pasted was actually slightly browner than the first (and looked correct when it was originally pasted) but this does not seem to pass through the posting mechanism correctly. The brown swatch and male symbol seem to be incorrectly parsed away from the second merman. The âbrowner mermanâ is reported as 4 characters. This can even be seen by using the delete key (Iâm on a Mac using LC 9.0.2) and deleting backwards over the merman. It changes color as the deleteKey removes characters which the field may or may not display. The merman doesnât necessarily displays at the size that the field is set to. Selecting the merman and choosing âUse Ownerâs Sizeâ from the text menu can break the emoji if the field isnât wide enough to contain all the âhidden charactersâ on the same line. hmm⌠just looked for a bug report and didnât find one exactly like this. Iâm pretty ignorant about how unicode actually operates but on the assumption that it should âjust workâ in LiveCode.. I guess a bug report is my next stop. --cross posted to forumsâ Scott Morrow Elementary Software (Now with 20% less chalk dust!) web http://elementarysoftware.com/ email sc...@elementarysoftware.com booth 1-800-615-0867 ------------------------------------------------------ > On Jan 13, 2019, at 1:34 PM, Richmond via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Cop a look at this: > > *http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32030* > > On 13.01.19 22:17, Stephen MacLean via use-livecode wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> The recent conversations on using offset() with Unicode strings was very >> enlightening, thanks to all that took part!. >> >> I have data stored in UTF8mb4.
