Hi!
I’m trying to print Unicode 7 emojis with dynamic fonts(ttf). All the glyphs necessary is in the font. I’ve double(read triple) checked already.
And the thing is that it works with the old emojis from the old standard (i.e emoji-characters with character literals that fits in a single char).
Lets say i want to print the emoji for a cocktail glass - (??) or “\u1F379”. Since the hexadecimal code doesn’t fit within a single character, I need to split them up in surrogate pairs.
Here’s my code for doing that.
int point = 0x1F379;
int offset = point - 0x10000;
char lead = Convert.ToChar(0xd800 + (offset >> 10));
char trail = Convert.ToChar(0xdc00 + (offset & 0x3ff));
Then I try to print this with my text class and my font(which contains all the emojis) and I get back nothing. I get nothing with TextMesh, GUIText and NGUILabel.
It works perfectly fine with emojis that does not contain a 5 page hexadecimal value(e.g. a football = “\u26BD”)
Do anyone know a way to achieve this? I’m starting to think this is a bug with unitys dynamic font handling.
Thanks,
