Alright so Recently (quite late) I found out there was a new way to use typeWriter (spoiler it’s about MaxVisibleGraphemes) and I got quite interested in it from forums, but I got into trouble and I can’t seem to figure it out.
Thing is that even when I use String like this
Whoohoooo <font color="rgb(255,200,50)">SCARY!</font> <font size="69">💀</font>
It would end up like this

I am quite new with this feature so I would gladly use any kind of help.
In case anyone wants to see the typeWrite script
local LocalizationService = game:GetService("LocalizationService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local SOURCE_LOCALE = "en"
local translator = nil
local AnimateUI = {}
function AnimateUI.loadTranslator()
pcall(function()
translator = LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForPlayerAsync(Players.LocalPlayer)
end)
if not translator then
pcall(function()
translator = LocalizationService:GetTranslatorForLocaleAsync(SOURCE_LOCALE)
end)
end
end
local function removeTags(str)
-- replace line break tags (otherwise grapheme loop will miss those linebreak characters)
str = str:gsub("<br%s*/>", "\n")
return (str:gsub("<[^<>]->", ""))
end
function AnimateUI.typeWrite(guiObject, text, delayBetweenChars, sounder)
guiObject.Visible = true
guiObject.AutoLocalize = false
local displayText = text
-- Translate text if possible
if translator then
displayText = translator:Translate(guiObject, text)
end
displayText = removeTags(displayText)
-- Set translated/modified text on parent
guiObject.Text = displayText
local index = 0
for first, last in utf8.graphemes(displayText) do
index += 1
guiObject.MaxVisibleGraphemes = index
local sound = sounder:Clone()
sound.Parent = game.SoundService
sound.PitchShiftSoundEffect.Octave = math.random(85,145)/100
sound:Play()
game.Debris:AddItem(sound,0.5)
if string.sub(displayText,index,index) == "," or string.sub(displayText,index,index) == "." or string.sub(displayText,index,index) == "!" or string.sub(displayText,index,index) == "?" or string.sub(displayText,index,index) == ":" then
wait(delayBetweenChars)
wait(0.5)
else
wait(delayBetweenChars)
end
end
end
return AnimateUI
