Emoji support?  
Starting this topic as a normal user. I've not talked about this to anyone else in the MX crew.

So... Emoji...
Good idea? Horrible idea?

I'm of two minds about it.

1. I love the unique emoticons we've always had on TMX/MX; they give the sites their own personality. Adding Emoji might change that personality.

2. But Emoji is also far more expansive for expressing oneself, so it's also quite an interesting idea to add support for it, not just in the forums but also on track pages and comments, etc.

Of course, if support for Emoji were added, I'd hope that we'd still have easy access to use the old school emoticons.

Thoughts?

In Emoji, there is an icon for a fried prawn. So I think we don't need to worry too much about it ;)

.... unless site coders decide its easy to implement and have nothing better to do ^^

Update all text columns in the database to NVARCHAR so it supports UTF-16 and you're sweet for Emoji support.

Too easy. :done:

Basically, they're smilies, and other little ideograms, that are widely supported among various websites, apps, mobile devices, etc.

This point has been added to the to-do list.
Once bugs have been fixed and performance has been improved, there will be further investigation into supporting Emoji: if it's desirable, how to implement, etc.
