Facebook-chat-api: how to send emoji as message?

[KuoyuanY]

when I try to send emoji as message, node js doesn't recognize the special character. what should I do?

How are you sending the message?

I'm on node v7+ on a mac and sending a message like this works for me:

api.sendMessage(`Playing ${songname} 😊`, message.threadID); 

There are some emojis on mac that are not supported in fb chat, which emojis are you trying to use?

[KuoyuanY]

i just put the emoji, what does playing ${songname} do? maybe because im on version 6.10

@y9y9l5m6 That's just an example of my code from a music bot thats working. Some more information would be helpful in debugging this such as:

• how you're sending the message
• what emoji you're trying to send
• your operating system
• any specific errors you're getting
