Hello Everyone,
I am a beginner in Web Development. In fact, Flynax 5.4. has given me an awesome crash course into php html and css... and I am kinda fallin in love with coding.
Okay to the issue: I've been trying to get Emoji characters to render on my site from mobile input from day one. (I think I was asking the Flynax team the wrong questions so maybe they did not understand me.)
I tried messing around in the UTF8 files(patterns.php, unicode.php, core/regex.php). I tried adding U strings to the UTF8_$match. I tried to force PhP to include and require an css file which contains an emoji mapping thru unicode. I tried adding emoji code into the html, ref the css file in the head and the css file pointed to a png file containing the emoji characters.(Maybe I have to parse...don't know how...)
Nothing worked! Site performed as normal. Enter emoji character from mobile and the script just won't read it or anything behind it. *However, upon randomly pressing emoji characters out of pure frustration...One actually rendered "!?" so I tried more, and a few more rendered. I AM NOW THINKING THIS IS A FONT ISSUE! So I go through styles.css and add(or try) two new fonts that support the Unicode with @font-face { blah blah.TTF format"" src "" } and I also added the font to my body and inputs with font-family:{ ("font") } No go! I can only get those same few emoji to render. So I dig in some more,debugging, I switched to my Style editor and see <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700"> in my head. I search and I search but can not locate that link src. I think the Roboto font is overriding all my other fonts because its in my head somehow. Please, if you have dealt with an emoji issue, respond.
Thanks
