How can an emoji be displayed?

[a740g]

Since we display unicode we should be able to display emojis? I know that we should be able to do this in terminals that support UTF-8. Just print out the unicode code point code to the terminal and it will display the emoji configured in the system? Or is this wrong?
Is it that when using a graphics screen mode the emojis will not render properly?
TBH I haven't tried to render an emoji in terminal yet. (the terminal must support it - windows terminal, xterm, mac terminal, etc. all do).

Yeah. I too am not sure if printing emojis to the terminal will work with QB64's PRINT. I'll need to play with that.

However, printing to a graphics screen with _UPRINTSTRING should work. Note that we do not have color font support yet. So, the below will print in monochrome (you can pick a single color of your choice).

Code: (Select All)

SCREEN_NEWIMAGE(800, 600, 32)



DIM fnt AS LONG: fnt = _LOADFONT("Seguiemj.ttf", 22)



COLOR _RGB32(255, 0, 255)



_UPRINTSTRING (100, 100), MKL$(&H1F638&), , 32, fnt

Update:

Added sample font with emojis.
