Symbols not supported in UIInput?
« on: October 14, 2014, 11:24:53 AM »
I see you're setting label.supportEncoding = false in the Init function of UIInput. Is there a reason for this?

Because the UIInput has too many work-arounds as it is to have to worry about handling symbols as you type. That's pretty much the only reason. :)

I just disabled that line and it seems to work just fine on our Android devices.

We needed emojis in our game so I made a batch script that adds symbols for all emojis to a font and maps them to their respective letter in unicode. Pretty sleek :D

Could you copy the script here, I have a need for emoji too.

TBH I have not worked out what unicode chars to put into NGUI.

All tutorials I have found just have :) etc rather than the unicode response from an iphone.

Thanks
