This is an issue on all clients that use fixed-width typefaces. Even if emojis are supported, they are doublewidth and mess up the fixed width rendering. Gemoji gem could be used to translate unicode emoji code points to :raw_emoji_string
. We're already using that in our API to do the translation from :raw_emoji_string:
.
Right - I'm happy to work on a pull request and add this as an option.
I just would like to know if it's something that would be merged and released if you guys are happy with it.
We'd glad to merge a PR.. Having emoji as :raw_emoji_string:
should be the default as most IRC clients can't render colourful emoji. IMHO, making this configurable isn't even necessary.
Great, I will see what I can do then, I used to have some code which did this in a crude way.

Btw, the Gemoji unicode mapping functionality only works when Gemoji installed via github. See https://github.com/github/gemoji#unicode-mapping

Weechat on Linux can't show emojis (it's kinda Linux issue) but I can see other scenarios where sending
:raw_emoji_string:
instead would be beneficial.
