Emojis not showing

[COOLDEV16T (DevDaz)]

I am trying to make an emoji list for my game and I have made a script to make text labels that show all the emojis. The problem is, the emojis look like this

But when I type the emojis in the text label myself, everything is fine.

Here is the script (client-sided)

list = "😁😂😃😄😅😆😉😊😋😌😍😏😒😓😔😖😘😚😜😝😞😠😡😢😣😤😥😨😩😪😫😭😰😱😲😳😵😷😸😹😺😻😼😽😾😿🙀🙅🙆🙇🙈🙉🙊🙋🙌🙍🙎🙏✂✅✈✉✊✋✌✏✒✔✖✨✳✴❄❇❌❎❓❔❕❗❤➕➖➗➡➰🚀🚃🚄🚅🚇🚉🚌🚏🚑🚒🚓🚕🚗🚙🚚🚢🚤🚥🚧🚨🚩🚪🚫🚬🚭🚲🚶🚹🚺🚻🚼🚽🚾🛀Ⓜ🅰🅱🅾🅿🆎🆑🆒🆓🆔🆕🆖🆗🆘🆙🆚🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🈁🈂🈚🈯🈲🈳🈴🈵🈶🈷🈸🈹🈺🉐🉑©®‼⁉#⃣#⃣#⃣™ℹ↔↕↖↗↘↙↩↪⌚⌛⏩⏪⏫⏬⏰⏳▪▫▶◀◻◼◽◾☀☁☎☑☔☕☝☺♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓♠♣♥♦♨♻♿⚓⚠⚡⚪⚫⚽⚾⛄⛅⛎⛔⛪⛲⛳⛵⛺⛽⤴⤵⬅⬆⬇⬛⬜⭐⭕〰〽㊗㊙🀄🃏🌀🌁🌂🌃🌄🌅🌆🌇🌈🌉🌊🌋🌌🌏🌑🌓🌔🌕🌙🌛🌟🌠🌰🌱🌴🌵🌷🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🌽🌾🌿🍀🍁🍂🍃🍄🍅🍆🍇🍈🍉🍊🍌🍍🍎🍏🍑🍒🍓🍔🍕🍖🍗🍘🍙🍚🍛🍜🍝🍞🍟🍠🍡🍢🍣🍤🍥🍦🍧🍨🍩🍪🍫🍬🍭🍮🍯🍰🍱🍲🍳🍴🍵🍶🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🎀🎁🎂🎃🎄🎅🎆🎇🎈🎉🎊🎋🎌🎍🎎🎏🎐🎑🎒🎓🎠🎡🎢🎣🎤🎥🎦🎧🎨🎩🎪🎫🎬🎭🎮🎯🎰🎱🎲🎳🎴🎵🎶🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻🎼🎽🎾🎿🏀🏁🏂🏃🏄🏆🏈🏊🏠🏡🏢🏣🏥🏦🏧🏨🏩🏪🏫🏬🏭🏮🏯🏰🐌🐍🐎🐑🐒🐔🐗🐘🐙🐚🐛🐜🐝🐞🐟🐠🐡🐢🐣🐤🐥🐦🐧🐨🐩🐫🐬🐭🐮🐯🐰🐱🐲🐳🐴🐵🐶🐷🐸🐹🐺🐻🐼🐽🐾👀👂👃👄👅👆👇👈👉👊👋👌👍👎👏👐👑👒👓👔👕👖👗👘👙👚👛👜👝👞👟👠👡👢👣👤👦👧👨👩👪👫👮👯👰👱👲👳👴👵👶👷👸👹👺👻👼👽👾👿💀💁💂💃💄💅💆💇💈💉💊💋💌💍💎💏💐💑💒💓💔💕💖💗💘💙💚💛💜💝💞💟💠💡💢💣💤💥💦💧💨💩💪💫💬💮💯💰💱💲💳💴💵💸💹💺💻💼💽💾💿📀📁📂📃📄📅📆📇📈📉📊📋📌📍📎📏📐📑📒📓📔📕📖📗📘📙📚📛📜📝📞📟📠📡📢📣📤📥📦📧📨📩📪📫📮📰📱📲📳📴📶📷📹📺📻📼🔃🔊🔋🔌🔍🔎🔏🔐🔑🔒🔓🔔🔖🔗🔘🔙🔚🔛🔜🔝🔞🔟🔠🔡🔢🔣🔤🔥🔦🔧🔨🔩🔪🔫🔮🔯🔰🔱🔲🔳🔴🔵🔶🔷🔸🔹🔺🔻🔼🔽🕐🕑🕒🕓🕔🕕🕖🕗🕘🕙🕚🕛🗻🗼🗽🗾🗿😀😇😈😎😐😑😕😗😙😛😟😦😧😬😮😯😴😶🚁🚂🚆🚈🚊🚍🚎🚐🚔🚖🚘🚛🚜🚝🚞🚟🚠🚡🚣🚦🚮🚯🚰🚱🚳🚴🚵🚷🚸🚿🛁🛂🛃🛄🛅🌍🌎🌐🌒🌖🌗🌘🌚🌜🌝🌞🌲🌳🍋🍐🍼🏇🏉🏤🐀🐁🐂🐃🐄🐅🐆🐇🐈🐉🐊🐋🐏🐐🐓🐕🐖🐪👥👬👭💭💶💷📬📭📯📵🔀🔁🔂🔄🔅🔆🔇🔉🔕🔬🔭🕜🕝🕞🕟🕠🕡🕢🕣🕤🕥🕦🕧"

Some of them may be moderated, ones that include: hearts, people.

That cant be the case as when I type them one at a time, they appear fine

Instead of saving the emojis themselves, save the UTF code (like 0x1F92B) and use utf8.char() on them to extract the emoji

For example:

print(utf8.char(0x1F92B))

You can find the UTF codes online, even in a large list of all of them I imagine

Hi,

Hehe, this is a common bug that is easy to run in to using emoji like this.

The problem is that an emoji is made up of multiple characters. Kinda counterintuitive… Worse, they are not all the same amount of characters…

So when you loop through the characters in your string, you are extracting only halves (or fourths, etc) of emojis, and it is displayed as these weird boxes.

Hope this clears things up a bit for people, I had a big fight with this before I realised the problem.

(So in your case, it would be solved by adding a comma between them and changing the quotes to table brackets {}, to make it an actual list. Oh, the emoji are still strings so you would also need to add quotation marks around each individually. After that, changing the loop to do what you want is then straightforward. Tested and works:)

list = {"😁","😂","😃","😄",}
for i, emo in ipairs(list) do
	local clone = script.Parent.TextLabel:Clone()
	clone.Text = emo
	print(emo)
	clone.Parent = script.Parent
end
