"??" Characters in Feedback
A few of my recent feedbacks displayed on the desktop site now have ?? characters in them. Where they are placed doesn't make any sense so I'm thinking they are from a user pasting in an emoji or gif into the box and the TM engine can't handle it so replaces it with "??" when storing the data. Sort of makes sense to me as an ex-coder...
Here's a couple of examples >
"?? as expected. Great trade."
"Awesome trade. Thanks very much ????"
Whilst this isn't major it does make for some odd reading feedback if you didn't know...
Is it just me or are others seeing these too?

Gary-NZStocked Community SuperuserEditedYep, been like that for years, since they introduced the apps.
Lots of posts over the years about it, but many are no longer on site.
Here's one though from 2 years ago.
Emojis in feedback – Help - Trade Me
I don't think it's on their priority list though.
I just found I had a reply to an email I sent them about it back in Sept 2018.
Hi Gary,
I definitely understand the confusion here. You're right, it is just someone using an emoji from their mobile that doesn't quite work with our system.
Our tech team are looking to fix this up - this will likely come through in future Preview updates a fair bit down the track.Cheers, Sam

Callum Community SuperuserYes, I thought this would have been fixed on the "new" feedback pages.
Emojis do display correctly now on auction titles and in descriptions when created on the new system, but still not yet on feedback even if viewed on the new system or on the Apps.
