Hi list,
An XML document includes the 👍 emoji, as shown in the following snippet:
<html>
<head><meta charset="utf8"/></head>
<body>
<div class="bubblerx">
<p>Thumbs up emoji: ��</p>
</div>
</body
</html>
The document is typeset using ConTeXt, but the thumbs up emoji isn't in the
PDF. Neither Noto Emoji nor Open Sans Emoji fonts will render.
Does anyone have a minimal example that shows how to typeset such escaped
entities?
When the emoji is added directly to a document, it works fine:
\definefont [TextFontEmoji] [opensansemoji]
\starttext
\TextFontEmoji{Thumbs up emoji: 👍}
\stoptext
Is there something special that needs to be set for ConTeXt to interpret
the escaped unicode values as an emoji?
Thank you!

Try the correct escape sequence :-) That’s 👍 -- or
equivalently 👍
Best,
Arthur

On the rare chance that someone else stumbles across this problem ...
By default, Java's Xalan transformer for creating XML documents does not
correctly encode emojis. Instead of 👍 for the thumbs up emoji,
Xalan encodes it as ��. As Arthur pointed out, this is not a
valid entity encoding.
One solution is to use Saxonica's Saxon 11 transformer, which produces the
expected output:
<html>
<head><meta charset="utf8"/></head>
<body>
<p id="caret">the 👍 emoji</p>
</body>
</html>
In Java, switching to Saxon entails installing the Jar files for Saxonica
and its resolvers. Then set the system property before invoking the XML
transformer: System.setProperty( "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl" );
ConTeXt handles the emoji from the transformed XML file without any issues.
Thank you, Arthur.
