### THIS IS A BUG REPORT ####

 

Hi Guys

 

Wanted to report a 'Bug' I guess.

 

So Chess.com only allows family friendly, Chess related Icons like these:

 

null

 

Okay, so in any textfield on Chess.com you can type characters like: ABCDEF

 

But you can also paste stuff, and there's the Problem. It allows me to paste Unicode Characters. So basically, I can post unwanted Emojis, Emojis that are not in the list.

 

Let me demonstrate: 🙈 💩 🖕

These you can post anywhere on chess.com where there's a text field, that means forums, other peoples profiles, even in the Livestreams Chat function.


A simple way to prevent this, would be to limit (or parse) the inputs to ASCII, rendering these Emojis broken.

 

Or, if this feature is working as it's intended, please extend our Emoji panel with all Unicode Emojis, it's easier than copying them.

 

I'm fine with either solution.  happy.png

 

p.s. Here's a complete list of all the stuff you could potentially post: Unicode Links

So I haven't heard from any staff member / admin so far.

 

I wrote a little Demoscript, you can find it here: https://github.com/johnnyawesome/Chess.comEmojis

 

For all browsers, you need Tampermonkey installed, create a new Script and paste the code in there - done.

 

When you go to https://www.chess.com/tv you will see a new drop-down menu appear with your new emojis:

null

 

Select one, click in the text-area and hit space and enter - done.

 

Your old Emoji-Menu will still exist and work as normal. That's the beauty of it, you can use both.

Basically, Freddy the F-Pawn wp.png has a new friend, Terry the turd 💩

 

For a detailed description, please check out the readme on my github page.

 

Disclaimer: Use the script responsibly, be nice, Chess.com rules always apply.

 

If you just want to spice up the chat with non Chess.com Emojis without installing the Demo Script - Here's a complete list of ALL MOJIS THERE ARE.

Copy & paste - done.

Thinking about it, serverside has to support Unicode for this to work. So I guess this is intentional, most people just don't know about it (and use the Emojus they get offered by the popup menu).

 

If there wouldn't be serverside support, people would see broken emoji Symbols. So I guess it's perfectly OK to use them.

 

Also, if you use the app, your onscreen keyboard supports all Emojis, and you can post them in Game-Chats etc.

 

Therefor, this is rather a feature than a bug, although a little known feature.

Leancleverscene, it was 3 years ago. I think that chess.com mods already fixed it.
