I don't know when I found this out, but the unicode for emojis are quite long. Some especially are horribly weird, like "π©π»β€οΈππ¨πΎ". Literally justπ©π»β€οΈππ¨πΎ Is counted as at least 30 characters. I tested this by, on CD's "What are you doing right now?", replying with just that emoji. It fulfilled the 30 character requirement. I obviously replaced the entire contents of the post with a pre-written rant about how I found out how weird some emojis were seconds after the single emoji reply successfully posted. This is probably an easy fix, just count emojis as individual characters, rather than looking at the components that make up an emoji. Side note: Probably also don't count the characters inside [yt]elevenchars[/yt] ...towards the character limit, that's also likely a very easy fix. EDIT: Should also mention that with emoji specifically, there seems to be a difference between client-side and server-side counting, since the MAL app can post something like "π₯π₯π₯π₯", but the website cannot. Presumably this means that "π₯π₯π₯π₯" is read as 36 characters server-side (And the app specifically doesn't check client-side) and 16 characters client-side, and as such "π©π»β€οΈππ¨πΎ" is read client-side as 35 characters and server-side as 82 characters! Some others below that only the app can post on all boards...
πβοΈ π¨πΎπ¦² π©π§π¦ This is from some guesswork which led me to gathering that an emoji is read as a UTF-8 byte-length on the client-side (Including glue characters), whereas it's converted to decimal entities server-side, so πβοΈ is 13 bytes client-side, but is decoded to "🏄‍♂️" server-side, thus becoming 31 characters if posted on the app. |
