Hi @ednong,

It's pretty intersting indeed, however, I'm afraid this is a very complex "issue", limited even by the minimun MySQL version supported by b2evo. As far as I could read, the "Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols_and_Pictographs) characters are above the range that utf8 fields are able to store, so it would be necesary to use a different collation in the database and a lot of more techy stuff in order to properly support them.

I'm not even close to be an expert on this, but the support of those characters is poor in general, actually, in my browsers, I can see only four figures from the whole table. In addition to that, none of the most important CMSs supports them either (or at least those that I tested in default instances).

Let's see the opinion of the developers about this.

Regards!

I also run the latest version of FF and the image above shows what I see when go to the page you linked before. I think this is a little sample of the lack of support for that set of characters.

The preview is an on-fly version of the post that isn't already saved into the database, so the "miscellaneous" symbols hasn't been trimmed from the content yet, I think it's the same case for the emails (I must confirm). So, that's the reason why you see them in some cases.

If you try to edit the post again after having saved it, do the symbols remain in the content (I bet they don't)?

All right, I finally managed to get the symbols ( I was forced to install a new font, which is not an ideal situation :S ). However, the database problem is still the same I mentioned before. So, let's see what options do we have.

Okay,
I'm curious and so I installed WP here (need it for support and tests for clients also). And I create the same kind of posts.

And - surprise: it works like in b2evo! :P

Means: in the editor (TinyMCE, I guess, this works here and not in my b2evo) creates a table, if I copy and paste it. If i mark it only and paste it or mark it and copy only text (with the plugin of FF), it put text in the editor. Symbols are seen all over. And if I save it - the post are empty like mine in my blog - only the text "U+1F446 (128070)" will be seen.

Really crazy this thing.

Hi mgsolipa,

it is interesting. In my browser - FF newest - I can see all of them (on the german wikipedia side). And it is unbelievable - in the preview after creating the post I can see all of them. See the screenshot.

And the coolest - if I click on "Save and edit" in b2evo, I get an email. And in this email all of them are visible. And if I go to my blog page, I see nothing but this http://ednong.de/blogs/index.php/daumen-und-haende-und-so

It is absolutely crazy, I think.

Here there is a edited screenshot of it.
