Emoji problem in Android

dr_andy

I have a TextInput and can input emoji characters and post to database correctly. But when I retrieve them back to TextInput they are not displayed. This is tested on Android. On Mac OS there is no problem, it works as expected. Any ideas?

Did you save the results on Android? Or did you save them from a different platform, and only load them on Android? I don't know if that might make a difference, but it could be that the emoji are encoded differently on different platforms.

I assume that you're using StageTextTextEditor with your TextInput?

Yes I use StageTextTextEditor. I'm saving on a server database, but I also tried to load locally. On Mac OS and browser it displays correctly, I don't think it is an encoding issue. On Android it is displayed as a blank character. When I put the cursor next to that character the cursor splits.

I also tried as below.

input.text = "Testing emoji \uD83D\uDE00";

The strange thing is I can input emoji characters, but can not display them back on Android.

That is very strange. I'm not sure what would cause that.
