XMPP expressions (emoticons) #270

Open vieridipaola opened 2 years ago

vieridipaola commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I am running Browser-Phone on Firefox with XMPP messaging. Another user is connected to the same Jabber server but with a different client (Jitsi Desktop).

If I send that user an expression from the Browser-Phone UI "Select Expression", the Jitsi Desktop user only sees a "square". However, if I write (bomb) or ;-) and send that, the remote Jitsi user sees the expression correctly. It seems that if the remote user sends me an emoticon from his selector, I see its textual representation in Browser-Phone (eg. (clap) ).

This might be an incompatibility between clients, I suppose. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

This is due to be looked at soon.

I don't really like the ways the expressions are handled - and there are only a few text-to-expression conversions. (I'm not even sure if these automatic conversion should take place since the emoji character set is so well embedded in users systems now days.)

From my tests a while back, I notice that the most consistent results came from using the system expression systems provided from the Operating system. (Here again tho, you may get different results to me as i'm on a mac).
