Suggestion to render emoji chars as glyphs

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

The problem

Emojis are not rendering properly unless you have special fonts installed

It turns out this is the camera emoji that is not rendering in my browser
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.98 Safari/537.36"

Proposed solution/suggestion

For utf8 chars that are known not to render on all fonts, we should render them server side

These could be replaced with something like font awsome or some emoji that renders for sure.

Here are some fonts that support that

see the browser test page http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4f7/browsertest.htm

Its benefits

The benefit would be a better user experience for all users.
It would also be good for users who do not have utf-8 support in the browser yet, or do not have foreign language fonts installed for example.

Conclusion

The extra effort to check if the user supports the font's needed and the server side rendering would be a feature that could be used by many projects and would improve the internet in general.

    • It is not a Bug , But a Suggestion.
    • I think steem doesnt encourages Emoticons in post, otherwise you would see a sidebar of emoticons in posts aswell.

          • You suggestion should have at least 4 subheadings (The problem, Proposed solution/suggestion,Its benefits and Conclusion.), I see you have already a solution to the problem i suggest you should add it into subheadings for easy view.
            That way, it would look more professional.
            Thanks, do the changes and reapply for approval and we'll be done :)
