Emojis are supported within your stream data, stream name, and data bucket name. Simply send an emoji token (e.g. :emoji_token_name:) or emoji unicode. A list of emoji tokens can be found here: https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/.
For example, if you are using the ISStreamer Python Module, simply use an emoji token in the value parameter of a .log statement:
streamer.log("status",":smile:")
Note:
- The actual emoji graphic drawn will be dependent on your O/S and browser. Tiles is not supplying the emoji graphic but simply supplying the corresponding unicode for the emoji character in your O/S and browser.
- Windows Chrome does not natively support emojis (yet). Addons exist that provide emoji support.
- iOS will not draw an emoji character greater than 32x32. This is why your emoji looks small in Tiles on your iPhone. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19702013/emojis-wont-scale-beyond-16px-font-size-on-ios-7
- 184 new emojis supported by iOS 9.1, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and Android 6.0.1 are also supported by Initial State. See https://initialstate.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002797212 for more information on new emoji support.
