Emoji Tags: Flags don't display in title pane

dr.karsten.jung

Hi, I just started using emoji tags and really like the additional way of marking items in the title bar. I just noticed, however, that some emojis (flags in particular) don't show up there, while they do in the tag themselves. This is a pity as country flags would be especially useful for me in quickly distinguishing and sorting different items in the title pane. So my question: Is there any particular reason for this or a known workaround? Or am I the only one experiencing this - I didn't see it mentioned in related forum posts. Thanks for your help! Karsten

This should be fixed in the latest Zotero beta. Thanks!

Many thanks @dstillman for taking this up so quickly! It does work now, helps me a lot!

I confirm that flags are now displayed in Zotero 8.0-beta.25, but some other emojis disappeared. (They are correctly displayed in Zotero 7.0.32):

@poettli could you please copy-paste the emojis that you’ve discovered that stopped working into a forum message?

(the forums don't accept emojis)

Oh, in that case pasting it to something like https://convertxt.com/code-tools/text-to-unicode/ and then pasting the Unicode code points would also help.

Actually, based on the screenshot, I gather these were symbols like ☼ and ☁. We will tweak the code to match these correctly, as it did before.

Thank you. I also just noticed that the circled letter U+24C2 is correctly displayed in Zotero 7.0.32, but not this one, U+24B6, for example.
