PHPBB3-14000 - Add support for emoji

Post by JoshyPHP »

https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-14000
https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/3753
[2015-07-10 18:41:58] <CHItA> callumacrae: do we support emojis then or not?
A couple of days ago, CHItA and callumacrae were discussing supporting emoji. I wrote the PR for it, it's there: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/3753/files

It uses Twemoji's assets. That's the markup:

Code: Select all

<img alt="😀" class="smilies" draggable="false" width="18" height="18" src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/36x36/1f600.png">
It has proper Unicode support as well as support for the ASCII/short names used by other emoji libraries. Smilies have higher priority than emoji; you can override individual emoji by creating a smiley of the same name. Emoji are not displayed if viewsmilies is set to false by the user.

The attached screenshot uses this list of emoji grouped by their default style values.

Question:
Emoji vs emoticon; what's the difference?

But how do you enter them? I don't see an Emoji panel on the posting page. (That might be a cool idea, if it's not too difficult.)

And isn't another difference that Emoji (at least "official" ones) are controlled by the Unicode board?

Emojis are entered through mobile device keyboards. Far as I'm aware entering them on a desktop is kind of a pain and I'm not sure we want to add that rather large list to the default smilies.

  • Emojis are characters. And because of that, it depends on the fonts being used how they render. You enter them just like any other character: the minority of all characters can be entered with your current keyboard layout (this applies to those with latin letters, aswell as to those with cyrillic, or kanjis, or...). It's either up to the software to support different approaches in entering all available characters, or it's up to the device(s) - think of your smartphone and how you're able to enter brackets, operators and such: there the software offers you different keyboard layouts. Operating systems do the same.
  • Smileys consist of multiple characters and are more or less ANSI art. Displaying pictures instead of those character combinations came in with GUI instead of having text mode only.
Neither emojis, nor smileys are graphics, originally. That's only an alternative interpretation to them.
