Unicode problem

Using Swift
1

Hi,

I am having problem with emojis’ rendering. Emojis like \u{F3A4} and \u{F3B5} print question mark instead. They begin with number “F”. Whereas the emojis beginning with non-F number render just fine. Is there any way to fix it?

I also noticed that if it make \u{F3A4} to \u{1F3A4} instead, it renders correctly. So I tried the old-school way of traversing the characters and putting 1 before F but I can’t because str.debugDescription.characters only gives me 1 character and nothing to split on.

Any idea what do I do to simply render these emojis?

Those are not the correct Unicode values. There should be a “1” in front — for example, U+1F3A4 is “:microphone:”, the microphone emoji. Plain U+F3A4 is part of a private use area, i.e. isn’t a real character.

I’m not sure where you’re getting the emoji codes with the missing “1”. That seems to be the source of the problem.
