Great work. But some emojis show as square with x in my Android 6 and Lubuntu. Please fix it. Try to use emojis that are supported by Andorid, iphone and linux. Thanks.

Hi @highroller, thanks for reporting this! 👍🏼 It looks like Unicode 7.0 was supported in Android 6.0.1. And according to this list, that should be the version most of the emojis are from.

Can I ask you to check which version of Android 6 you are using? And what version of Linux?

highroller commented 3 years ago

Android 6.0, not 6.0.1. Lubuntu 20.04.1 lts.

vejnoe commented 3 years ago

Okay, then for your Android I would highly recommend upgrading to 6.0.1, since it adds support for Unicode 7.0+8.0.

Regarding Lubuntu I was not able to find any helpful resources on what version you need. But with out Unicode 7.0 you are out of lock, since almost all weather related emojis was added in that release. See the list here

There might be a hack to update the version of Unicode on your devices without updating the hole system, saw one for Android, and since it's mostly the system fonts that need to be updated there should be a chance.

Hope you find this helpfull. Sorry I can't fix the calendar to support lover versions of Unicode.

But forgot to mention, that you can of course also clone this repo and just make your own version!

The manufacturer doesn't have any os update for my phone. Is it possible to detect the version of unicode supported and output only text instead of emojis if version is too outdated? Or a setting to toggle text only or emojis for case like this?

Thanks.

vejnoe commented 3 years ago

It's not possible to detect support unfortunately, and it would defeat the purpose a bit with removing the emojis since that the main reason that i build this 🤔... Then I would think it would be better to use the one from WebCal.fi

highroller commented 3 years ago

I would have used webcal.fi if their temperature reading is not so far off, always around 5-10 degrees off from Google weather. I am not sure where they pull their weather source. I already made sure i have correct zipcode.

Hmmm, I'll add to the feature request list, and keep it in mind.
