Yes! You heard good – MyAAC now supports Emojis in menus, newses, pages, forum, etc.

This was possible with changing MySQL character set to utf8mb4, which will replace default utf8 in next MySQL releases.

The commit with changes is here: https://github.com/slawkens/myaac/commit/27c44f1bdfb6234cf0c9d5b4b491123bb205b08f

The changes are for 1.0+ but it can be easily applied to 0.8 by executing following code in your database:

ALTER TABLE myaac_pages CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
ALTER TABLE myaac_news CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
ALTER TABLE myaac_menu CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;

and so on… i just posted few most important tables.

If you are using 1.0 (develop branch), the changes will be applied automatically to your db after you apply the commit.

A hint: On windows you can put Emoji by pressing the Windows Key + . (dot).

There is also page with list of Emojis: https://getemoji.com/
