Question:
- Can I receive emojis in inbound messages?
- How to decode emoji characters in inbound messages?
- Why am I receiving hexadecimal characters on my inbound messages?
Answer:
When a message containing emojis (e.g.😀😁😃😉😊😋) is sent to a Nexmo Virtual Number, the callback will show these characters in hexadecimal values.
Example: %F0%9F%98%84%F0%9F%98%83%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%8A%F0%9F%98%98
If you need help decoding these characters, there are some useful tools online such as http://www.url-encode-decode.com
