Symptoms
- We had implemented support for Emoji characters (from the standard Unity keyboard) and now, using Unity 5.3+, they seem to be stripped out of the string that is exposed for use in Unity.
- We would like to enable the filter out of Emoji characters for our iOS app.
- We would like to disable the filter out of Emoji characters for our iOS app.
- Emoji characters are not supported by Unity, but we have our custom solution using a plug-in. Now our solution is failing because Unity is filtering out the emoji characters. We want to remove the filtering.
Cause
Unity currently supports code points in the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000 - U+FFFF), but cannot handle code points in any of the Supplemental Planes (U+10000 - U+10FFFF). So, Emoji is not supported in Unity at the moment. Support for Emoji is in the Unity roadmap, but we do not yet have an estimated release date yet.
Resolution
To enable/disable filter out of Emojis, please go to the trampoline code, file Keyboard.mm and change the value for the macro FILTER_EMOJIS_IOS_KEYBOARD to 0 for enabling, 1 for disabling.
