Emoticons in json format messing up HTML rendering

Hi all, a PHP server is sending this to my XOJO clients.
\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8
It Windows this shows up as little pane symbol with a question mark, but in Mac the whole line is invisible.

Does anyone know a solution? Switching from Native to WebKit does not help.

thanks

How are you decoding the json? The native JSONItem will not handle this but my JSONItem_MTC will, as will the new framework ParseJSON.

Kem, you made my day!

FYI, these are UTF’-16 surrogate pairs and it’s how json handles encoding code points greater than &hFFFF.

Cool, I was already wondering where this came from.
