Hello,

Can you tell me how to incorporate a special character in a string translation, corresponding to the subject of digest emails?
What format does it take to make it work ?

Language string : COM_ES_DIGEST_EMAIL_SUBJECT

Here is the special character : https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1F422

Thank you,
Philippe
Hi there,

This actually happened because the table in database do not support icon format. In order to do it you need to alter your table.
Before that you have to do a full backup (database and your site) for precaution.
[gist type="php"]
ALTER TABLE `#__social_mailer` MODIFY `title` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 NOT NULL;
[/gist]

change the #_ to your table prefix.

Hi Philippe,

You can directly copy out the icon into the language string

Thank you. I tried. But it does not work.
When we receive an email, there is a "?" in email subject.
