ToDoList (AbstractSpoon) Support

I would like to use some emojis in the titles of recurring tasks that are set to create a new task when completed.

I can copy & paste any emojis into the task title and they display initially. However, when the task is marked completed and a new task is automatically created most of the emojis do not display. In the new task title the emojis that do not display are represented by a blank space.

The difference between those emojis that display and those that do not seems to be that those with a Unicode code containing 4 characters display OK, but those with a 5 character code do not.

Unfortunately, most emojis use a 5 character code and so will not display when used in these tasks.

I am wondering if there is any way to use emojis/Unicode characters that use a 5 character code in recurring task titles?

Hi @Tontas

What font are you using for the task titles?

That make sense because internally the app is 4-byte unicode.

Could you possibly take a copy of 'Introduction.tdl', add some emojis (both 'good' and 'bad') and then attach it here please?

The font used is Segoe UI Emoji. I also tested Noto Color Emoji & EmojiOne Color with the same result.

The 5 character emojis also fail to display if the tasklist/program is closed and restarted.

A copy of Introduction.tdl with emojis added is attached.

The emojis were taken from:

GOOD:
U+26F7 ⛷
U+26F0 ⛰
U+26E9 ⛩
U+2618 ☘
U+2708 ✈

BAD:
U+1F3CC 🏌
U+1F3DD 🏝
U+1F6D5
U+1F340
U+1F680


Thank you.

Many thanks @Tontas, I can reproduce the issue.
