Very useful although not consistent between platforms! To/from a database usually needs more care with the methods, but Paul's info about encoding should get you back up and running.

It probably depends on 2 things: 1) If the app the Emojis are created in is creating them as Unicode Emojis or as images. If they are created as images, then they are probably not getting transferred to the database correctly. If they are Unicode, also make sure they are not being lost in the upload to the database - the database encoding needs to support some Unicode encoding like UFT8 2) If the database has the correct data, then when loading it into a LiveCode field you probably need to textDecode (see dictionary) the data from UTF8 to LiveCode's native (UTF16) text.
