Unicode Issues 🏷

Found Unicode related issues and how to address them:


1. Fulltext search

Ideographic languages such as Chinese and Japanese do not have word delimiters. Therefore, [MySQL's] FULLTEXT parser cannot determine where words begin and end in these and other such languages.

see ngram Full-Text Parser

2. Browser is not showing emojis



Solution:
Its a font issue and you have to install a additional font that supports emoji for chromium-based browsers like Chromium, Google Chrome, Opera etc.

  • noto-coloremoji-fonts - Noto Color Emoji font
  • twemoji-color-font - Colored Emoji Font From Twitter

Alternatively you can add and load the missing font inside your theme header:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Noto Color Emoji';
  src: url(fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf);
} 	

or use it via CDN:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Noto Color Emoji';
  src: url(https://gitcdn.xyz/repo/googlefonts/noto-emoji/master/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf);
}
