Title: Emoticons Don't Work With UIInput
Post by: knguyen on July 31, 2014, 01:39:54 AM

Hey all,

I've implemented some custom "emoticons" (in my case they are just arrow icons pointing in the four directions). These correspond to the keys "<", ">", "{", "}" (I mapped the up and down arrows to the brackets). Everything shows up fine when I modify the label of the UIInput before hitting play.

I read another post that had said that emoticons were disabled on purpose for UIInput. However, I need/want this to work, so can I work around this? I want the users to be able to type in "<", ">" and have the correct arrow emoticon appear, and also have the ability to delete them just like regular characters.

You can comment out line 442 of UIInput.cs that forces label.supportEncoding to be 'false', but beware that unless your symbols are always 1 character and happen to match the width of the character, some things will be "off".
