Does Phenix support emojis in chat?

Phenix's chat service can send and receive emojis, e.g., unicode characters such as “🌵” (U+1F335) as well as other types of data.

The chat service is available for all client SDKs:

• Android
• iOS
• Web

Emoji support requires rendering for both sending and receiving messages. While Phenix does not currently offer a rendering library that handles emojis, off-the-shelf libraries that can be used to render emojis include:

• Android
• iOS

The example below should be used via a client such as Postman as many command lines do not support characters such as 😎 or 🌵.

 
curl --location --request PUT 'https://pcast.phenixrts.com/pcast/room/channelId/message' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic YXBwbGljYXRpb25JZDpzZWNyZXQ' \
--data '{
    "message": {
        "from": {
            "screenName": "The Dude",
            "role": "Participant",
            "lastUpdate": 0
        },
        "mimeType": "text/plain",
        "message": "Cool sunglasses! 😎",
        "tags": [
            "a-tag",
            "my-other-tag"
        ]
    }
}'
