Display Emoji in native size and full colors

Hi!

For example a chat application, the display.newText function should auto display Apple Color Emoji, when input contains Emoji characters.

It now displays Emoji in the mono-color of setTextColor and very small only.

Thanks. [import]uid: 148841 topic_id: 35428 reply_id: 335428[/import]

Emoji’s are something employed by the native features of the app. display.newText is an OpenGL rendered graphic texture based on rendering text in various fonts. You’re going to get whatever the font represents that character code as. iOS renders those through the native interface.

This really isn’t a bug, but more of a feature request. I would recommend going to:
