Emoji not working

[harperreed]

Emoji coming through the twitter API is not being passed correctly through twittergo, and thus is not rendering when displaying

For example:

   {"contributors":null,"coordinates":null,"created_at":"Thu Jul 24 01:25:36 +0000 2014","entities":{"hashtags":[],"symbols":[],"urls":[],"user_mentions":[{"id":529388090,"id_str":"529388090","indices":[0,15],"name":"Mrs Stig-Helmer ","screen_name":"isabelodelfelt"}]},"favorite_count":0,"favorited":false,"geo":null,"id":492118368036880384,"id_str":"492118368036880384","in_reply_to_screen_name":"isabelodelfelt","in_reply_to_status_id":492118366908596224,"in_reply_to_status_id_str":"492118366908596224","in_reply_to_user_id":529388090,"in_reply_to_user_id_str":"529388090","lang":"en","place":null,"retweet_count":0,"retweeted":false,"source":"\u003ca href=\"http://github.com/mroth\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eemojidoll\u003c/a\u003e","text":"@isabelodelfelt your unique emojidoll:\n    �� \n    �� \n������\n  ����","truncated":false,"user":{"contributors_enabled":false,"created_at":"Wed Jul 09 05:05:18 +0000 2014","default_profile":true,"default_profile_image":false,"description":"Tweet “@emojidoll me” to get your own unique emojidoll based on your twitter account.

The good part:

   "text":"@isabelodelfelt your unique emojidoll:\n    �� \n    �� \n������\n  ����"

Not quite sure how to remedy this. I did some testing and other unicode seems to work fine (japanese language, etc).

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Thanks! I was diving in - but am rusty.

That's what I get for rolling my own JSON decoder. For some reason Go doesn't want to unescape these correctly (or I'm going about it completely wrong) but I've added support here: https://github.com/kurrik/json/commit/f63ef626c5ffbfcd5dd5430c18c8b2eb14593c38

I've also added an example which fetches all of Twitter's sample emoji Tweets and prints them: https://github.com/kurrik/twittergo-examples/blob/master/emoji/main.go

You'll need to update your json dependency, typically through go get -u github.com/kurrik/json (make sure to include the -u flag to pull the new version)

Let me know how that works for you!
