Using emojis 💥

Post by mamba »

What is the quickest way to use emojis in 3.3 (topic text and titles)?

Is there a supported extension? 🤔

Use a device with an emoji keyboard, such as most smartphones.

Did not know that, thank you! Firefox? I know there is an "Emoji Cheatsheet" add-on aka "Emoji Helper" for FF and chrome

There are numerous FireFox extensions available for Emoji input: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ws&q=emoji

Also, there are web-based keyboards such as this one: https://emojikeyboard.io/ (no endorsement offered - just picked the first good looking one from a Google search).

Is this a bug?

Notice how the shrug emoji has a male symbol next to it ... and I did not paste it in

In Windows 10 there’s a universal emoji keyboard so, presumably, that keyboard is available to all browsers, email and word processors etc. that support emoji?

Hi guys,

so from language\en\acp\permissions_phpbb.php text below means that emoji can be generally used in topics and topics' title? I am not sure about this part :) -> rich text characters in topic title

Can use emoji and rich text characters in topic title
