Emoji does not display in push Notification instead it display question mark or display unicode

Question

Emoji appears as a unicode characters in push notifications. i-e : if we have text like "\ud83d\ude0a". This is the code of SMILE EMOJI which displays as unicode characters or some time it display question mark in push notification.

Is there anything else need to do in code or on server side. ? Any help would be appreciated. we are using java at backend side

Json example :

{
   "to": "c2rMPP0eK04Ro0FJDgMflH:APA91bEydhoB0VU5W6PxJLnIRoFqOk5npEjlWzBlvdyBlX1Cp72t0bYxDyepP5Z9mWFQ2XYeUPw8PDo3QqT6Anh27wqnkBRbabTYKn0tByOZOMU6oRlrGur-efxN9_-8LlOmDZceg9Kl",
   "notification": {
      "body": "Hello",
      "title": "This is done manually. \uD83D\uDE0A"
   }
}

We try this things

byte[] emojis = user.getEmoji().getBytes();
String emojisAsString = new String(emojis, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
Integer emojiCodePoint = emojisAsString.codePointAt(emojisAsString.offsetByCodePoints(0,0));
char emojiChars[] = {Character.highSurrogate(emojiCodePoint), Character.lowSurrogate(emojiCodePoint)};

Note : If we fire this things from postman then it is working but not working when it fire from backend

Answer 1

"\uD83D\uDE0A" or "\u{D83D}\u{DE0A}" is not encoded emoji.

You should encoded like \u{ and }:

"\u{1F600} \u{1F616}"

Unicode in iOS

It works on playground. Check if it works on notification panel.

Answer 2

If you are reading from DB, try updating your DB driver. Like if you are using MySQL, use 'mysql-connector-java:5.1.47' or higher.

Answer 3

Try this string:

"\u{D83D}\u{DE0A}"
