How to allow emojis?

[k0fi]

Using sanitization rule below converts emojies like 😀 to ? :

func StripHtml(s string) string {
    p := bluemonday.UGCPolicy()
    p.AllowAttrs("class").OnElements("img")
    return p.Sanitize(s)
}

I'm wondering how can I allow emojis to be saved without lowering the sanitization bar too much?

It turned out that the snippet above just works fine to accept emojis. My problem was in mysql database. When I changed the column's collation to utf8mb4_bin, the problem is gone. Sorry, please close the issue.

Sounds good to me :)

And yes, database collation is a gotcha, as-is passing the output of this through another language and not ensuring that UTF is the charset, etc.
