Diverse emojis in C++?

Question

My C++ code below uses emojis.

I wanted to make them diverse and have been trying to modify skin colour through the Unicode code. With no success although I have been scanning past discussion, codes and googling. Is there a way to colour smiley? How can I use the modified unicodes from the tables in C++?

Answer 1

You can change skin tones using the unicode fitzpatrick scale skin tone modifiers.

For example, if "\U0001F44B" is a waving hand 👋, then "\U0001F44B\U0001F3FB" is a waving hand with type 1-2 skin 👋🏻.

Not every emoji supports skin tone modifiers, you can find a full list at https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-modifiers.html

It looks like that particular smiley of yours is not on the list.

Passiert hier gelegentlich, ich glaube das ist wenn der Hamster müde wird und die im Hamsterrad ein paar neue einspannen müssen damit der Server wieder Strom bekommt :P

Answer 3

thank you, Schindlabua! I was trying to do this with + rather than with \ characters, as the unicode.org tables seem to imply, and kept getting errors. (btw, your waving hand lacks a B, I was getting a crash from this also)

Answer 4

Whoops, and the link was wrong aswell. :D

Different languages have different ways of writing down these hexcodes. "0x1F44B" is common too. It's just one of those things.

Drei mal geschnitten und immer noch zu kurz! (wie meine Ur-Oma zu sagen pflegte). Now it is working but any attempt to save changes to the code is failing! 😂 Thanks anyway!
