Hello dear Calva wizards, I have a silly question. I am trying to use emojis in my code, I cant figure out how too do it. I installed emojisense in VS code, but the emojis it creates throw en error in Calva. I have looked around, but I cannot find any information. Any pointers in the right direction would much appreciated. Thanks

It should totally work. Can you share some code? Maybe we can see what goes wrong then.

i figured it out writing to you. Thanks for the quick response

They need to be defined. 😃 Haha, you figured!

I often use keywords for this, to avoid having to define them: :🍎

I'm curious, under the hood emojis tend to be unicode characters that map to a system font right? What are the tools you guys use to ensure cross platform support there? Force utf-8 and support just one or a custom font? Personally I avoid emojis myself since things like those balls I can do with svgs or css. but I'm genuinely curious how you approach it.

I don’t think it actually maps to a system font. They are resolved some other way. I have never had any bother with them, so I generally just use them and that’s that.

Dear Backseat Driver friends: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva-backseat-driver/releases/tag/v0.0.5 • Fix: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva-backseat-driver/issues/2https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva-backseat-driver/issues/3https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva-backseat-driver/issues/4 Yes, now the MCP server actually works in the release build, externs config to the rescue. And that particular error with MCP tool descriptions won’t happen again, because now the release builds are tested for it in CI. I’m happy I made Seatbelt, the #joyride test runner. calva
