Apparently the Grinning Face is included in the Deja Vu font which was/is
included by default with Ubuntu (according to Wikipedia). Perhaps you can get
LiveCode to use that ... at least to test the surrogate pairs.
On a lesser note, LibreOffice includes Deja Vu and fortunately Deja Vu

On my Android tablet using, I assume, Droid Sans, the clef sign was missing but
the pile of poo was there. To me it looked more like a party hat with yellow
streamers, but admittedly the font was small.

Presumably you meant to type f*rty hat.

Have you tried displaying the pile of poo in LivecCode using the same font as
you are using in Thunderbird? That would be the best evidence of whether
LiveCode supports surrogate pairs under Linux or not.

Hi Richmond,
My bad, should have been:

Note that current versions of LiveCode don't really treat surrogate pairs
properly - each codeunit of the pair is treated as a character so it is
possible to do things like apply a style that only affects one of the two

On Linux I get a single empty box. I suspect that the emoji aren't really that

We do intend to have RTL support in the 7.x cycle. What is most likely to

That’s really exciting news; it’s long overdue but still exciting.
But I don’t think the users {we, programmers} will complain much about
bidirectional support.
Even the biggest services don’t give full support to bidirectional text.
I remember that I once published a short fairy-tale of mine
