Description: Emojis are excellent for display in a page. When editing a page they are converted to ugly looking text.

There could be an option to display emojis in the editor to make it easier for most people to use.

For instance:

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ usa flag
๐Ÿด๓ ต๓ ณ๓ ด๓ ธ๓ ฟ texas flag
๐Ÿฆ• dinosaur
๐Ÿคก clown
๐ŸŒŽ world

in the editor look like:

🇺🇸 usa flag
🏴󠁵󠁳󠁴󠁸󠁿 texas flag
🦕 dinosaur
🤡 clown
🌎 world

Enable UTF-8 to use it. Petko

What am I missing? If emojis display normally in the page 'view', why cant emojis display normally in the page 'edit' in my wiki? --gnuzoo

You seem to have missed reading the last sentence of my previous comment. Petko

It may work on this page, but does not work when editing this PmWiki page โžก๏ธ GNUZoo Emojis. -- gnuzoo

If you type the HTML entities like 🐒=๐Ÿ’ in the page, they are not supposed to be converted to characters. Petko

Do you mean if they are in the form '🐒' they are not converted to '๐Ÿ’' after being saved and then edited later ? -- gnuzoo

When UTF-8 is enabled, whatever writers type in the edit form stays in the edit form (unless $ROEPatterns or $ROSPatterns change it). Petko
