Fails on emoticons #3

Open karanluthra opened 8 years ago

karanluthra commented 8 years ago

Whatsapp has a rather large emoticon set and a lot is conveyed using them in whatsapp conversation. TODO: find out how whatsapp codes the emoticons; would simply handling a larger charset than ASCII solve the problem?

Hmm, it's come to my mind as well. Would you have any suggestions as to how to implement it?
