Yes, you can add emoji use to texting with Plivo by including emoji characters in your text messages. Ensure that your system supports Unicode, as emojis are part of the Unicode standard.
Hi Raquel, here is some more information on Emoji use!
Emoji is supported over SMS. To send an emoji, simply send the Unicode character for that emoji. Handsets will render the emoji using the handset’s native emoji themes.
A chart of showing available unicode emoji can be found at: https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html
Note that messages with emoji are Unicode messages and subject to the 70-character limit.
Character Encoding Key Takeaways:
-SMS messages can be encoded with either GSM 0.38 or Unicode.
-Messages will be automatically broken up into chunks corresponding to the character encoding used.
-GSM chunks are limited to 160 characters, Unicode chunks are limited to 70 characters.
-Total maximum message size is 1600 characters on GSM, 737 characters on Unicode.
-Any message containing even a single character not available in the GSM character set will be sent as a Unicode message.
-Emoji can be sent using Unicode.
