Hate to say this, but emojis should go...

Here's an error which points to the emoji:

Essentially blocks me from launching adex-mob in debug mode on Android, thus I cant regression test, thus I cant ci/cd, etc. And in many cases blocks users with god-forsaken phones like mine (Android 5.1 and less?) from using mobile GUI. I have to either buy a newer phone or ask you to remove emojis.

@artemii235 I understand that emojis can mean a lot to someone, therefore just humbly asking to consider such proposition, and would be waiting in respectful silence for your decision. 😅

If it isn't too much work, a flag or config option to turn emojis to ascii versions can provide the best of both

[artemii235]

I think that removing the emojis is the simplest way and I don't mind it personally. However, someone might have arguments against the removal so let's wait a bit for more comments :slightly_smiling_face:

<<<(((;....;)))>>> I'm sure we will be able to find a substitute for any emoji with ascii :D

[sergeyboyko0791]

As far as I know, mobile app doesn't depend on log parsing, so we can get rid of tagged logs including emoji. What about the desktop app?

[ca333]

liked the emojis a lot - maybe we can just replace with ascii equivalents

[BloodyNora]

remember there may be people (like me, coincidentally) whose terminals cannot for whatever reason display 8 or 16 byte long multibyte characters. i agree with ca333 on using ascii emoji representations.
