I'm facing problem to show Smiley on html content where text is generated from Android or iPhone keyboard and stored in MySQL database. Right now I'm storing smiley as unicode text in database so it is converting like \ud83d\ude01 . But there is no way to show this kind of encoded smiley in HTML.
I understand that not all emoji are supported in HTML code, but I want to show as much as possible like "☺" is supported so it should show, and for unsupported html smiley, "" kind of text is fine.
