Where are the emojis? - Site Bug

October 7th, 2020

Hello guys, a while ago I was checking some of my forum threads and what i noticed is that most of the emojis (except the coded ones not sure what they are called)

Emojis in the ABOVE IMAGE, have gone disappear from the forum thread. Only these are working :) :( :P :D which are already on 7 cups.

This is whats been happening

@CallMeNaman2002 You're right, it's a bug.

When the forum is working correctly, special characters like letters with accents, dashes, and emoji are encoded using a system called UTF-8. Your web browser decodes the UTF-8 and displays the intended characters.

Unfortunately someone made a mistake and encoded forum posts twice. Your web browser only decodes the UTF-8 once. This causes encoded UTF-8 to be displayed, instead of the intended characters. Forum titles and the rest of the site are not affected, as far as I know.

The same mistake has been made in the past, and it was quickly fixed. The mystery is why this simple mistake has taken so long to fix this time. Perhaps @7CupsCommunity knows why.

@RarelyCharlie it's still taking a lot time to fix the emoji problem. I guess they forgot this 📌

@CallMeNaman2002 I'm still seeing those � symbols in old posts, but not in new ones. For example Our mission begins:

I �started this section and called it �Glen�s nook.�

Well after reading what you said, I also started noticing that not all posts have this issue.
