Why don't emoji's show in Confluence server?
Asked by Scotty Simpson:

Trying to add emoji's in the page title or body using the mac cntrl+command+space option to add it results in "??" when published.

It shows the emoji when previewing just not in published view.

in case you switched to Confluence Cloud, we have just released [Icons for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224522/icons-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), a library that consists of +500icons for Confluence Cloud with emojis too. If you wish to give it a try, there's a free trial period.

body: Hey, I have solved the problem. Consider using common emoji sets that supported by confluence fonts and rendering is supported by browsers. Just copy and paste emojis from the pages provided. Here are lists I have checked for compatibility with conflience 6 : <https://emojipedia.org/objects/> and <https://bitbucket.org/gdwiy/bitbucket-emoji-list/wiki/Home?_ga=2.29565435.598122700.1574757159-477300901.1550910050>

body: Hi Scotty,  

We will need more information to answer you better.  
1. Browser  
2. The broken Emojis (Generally, UTF-8 encoded emojis shouldn't have issues, however it also depends on browser's UTF-8 charset support)  
3. Database being used in the background.   
4. Is it an Emoticon or Emoji?  

Meanwhile can you please look at the following post for more info:

body: Ah so I've discovered a few other things. Emojis are working on paragraph text but not in headings or page titles.


author: Scotty Simpson
body: 1. Google Chrome 78.0.3904.87
2. I was trying <https://emojipedia.org/clown-face/> which is UTF-9 but even <https://emojipedia.org/white-left-pointing-backhand-index/> didn't work in title and headings
3. Not sure, how do I check this?
4. Its an emoji

Confluence supports emojis, they are supposed to show just fine.

What Confluence version and what database do you use?

body: Thanks [@Jiri Hronik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49474)

Just checked and we're on 6.15.6 (which I don't believe is the most recent)

No idea about database
