As the BMO team announced earlier, we're going to be allowing emoji in user inputs in Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1253535 We have not committed to a date to release this feature as it requires a production database change which we haven't been able schedule yet. Meanwhile, this change means that as an Bugzilla API consumer, you will need to be ready to accept emoji in your systems. In particular, if your client application uses MySQL, you'll need to update your databases and tables to use utf8mb4 instead of utf8 encoding, otherwise if you try writing strings containing emoji, they would be truncated at the first emoji which would be a 💩 situation. Adjust that caveat as needed for other data stores such as Postgres. If your application will need time to be able to support emoji, please contact the bmo team. Otherwise we'll assume you're 😎 with this change and not 😱. Also, once we turn this feature on, some of our users will think themselves clever and create bugs with 💩💩💩 as the title. If the bug contains little else than that, it's probably a 🗑🔥 and can be closed as INVALID. -- Emma (🐞👩) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
