Interesting to see Roblox try this after the last version’s purported failure. I’m always excited to see new revenue opportunities, but I’ll personally be trying to keep ads off my games for the time being.

---

I’m really glad to see this finally being added! It was more often than not the kind of feature that you expected was there and was shocked it was missing. I had some hacky implementations of this, and I’m looking forward to cleaning up my codebase.

---

I’m lowkey really excited about this one, there has been a couple of times in my UI where this would’ve been useful. Will it also be usable in the website? Can we get the UTF8 code?

[Tiffblocks]

the \u{E001} syntax is something you can put inside of strings in your scripts. Alternatively you can paste these characters directly:

Premium icon: 
Robux icon: 

These aren’t yet enabled for use. I don’t think these will be usable on the website.

These monochrome icons can be recolored using TextColor3/RichText. The reason the Robux one isn’t the green one with the shading is because our emoji rendering doesn’t support gradients.

[Beloathed (Gamer)]

It’s still pending? Even after 4 weeks and 5 versions? Oh, man…

[RuizuKun_Dev (Kitsune)]

wait what? is something wrong with me or?

[Tiffblocks]

These characters are part of the private use area, which are meant for application-specific usage. Any font can have its own take on what these characters mean. I guess that Apple decided they should be copies of default emoji?

[Hexcede]

I’m excited for this, these emojis will definitely come in handy. Gone are the days of manually positioning robux and premium icons around! (Well, almost)

I didn’t know there was a private use area for unicode characters, pretty neat to know. I guess this implies that the engine will be able to define more custom emojis after this change, which is quite cool, could maybe lead to some cool features.

For example, maybe this evolves in the future and we get the ability to add our own custom emojis, maybe as a sub feature of custom fonts. Games could create their own emoji fonts or emoji sheets or something, even if they’re just monochrome.

[CJ_Oyer]

Any idea why EmoteTriggered is protected? I’m doing some analytics work and being able to know when and where a player emotes would be super useful for iterating social gameplay.

[tnavarts]

Things like EmoteTriggered aren’t necessarily protected because there’s some security issue.

Publicly accessible Lua APIs have to go through a rigorous review process to make sure that they’re consistent with existing APIs and are something we can support for many years if not indefinitely. EmoteTriggered is an example of one which probably could be released as a public API but just hasn’t gone through said review process to make sure it checks all the boxes.

[DarkPixlz]

Glad for the Robux emoji, it’s a great help in projects.

[M3F_1]

How do i get the emoji your using would be great for my gamepasses

[DarkPixlz]

Put \u{E002} in the Texabel.

[JoyfulFlowerMary (Mary)]

Specifically, set a TextLabel’s Text property to that using the command bar or a script; If that’s typed into the Properties pane, it’ll just show that text code instead of the unicode character.
