Re: Emoticons
I assume you are asking for emojis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji
but not emoticons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon *-)
When using Mantis with MySQL, emojis are supported as long as they can ce stored in UTF-8 encoding in 3 bytes.
There should be no limitation when using other databases (never tried myself).
For more technical details, see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=21101 and https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=20431

Re: Emoticons
No, I meant emoticons.
If I type in MantisBT note it does not turn into a smiley face.

I am still not sure if we are talking about the same thing

An emoticon is a typographic display of a facial representation, used to convey emotion in a text only medium
Unlike emoticons, emoji are actual pictures
Re: Emoticons
Ok, yes - emoji. I want to see pictures representing the faces.
Smilies.
Smilies.
Re: Emoticons
I still don’t know how to do this. In mantisbt I type a colon : and a parenthesis ) I want to see a happy face image. I am only seeing the characters. And can’t the ide offer these symbols visually for us to choose from?
Re: Emoticons
I can just repeat what I told before.
You are entering emoticons when entering the : - ) characters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon
Some systems, for example this forum, convert them to pictures.
Mantis does not convert your input.
But Mantis supports emojis in a limited way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Unicode_blocks
Emojis are displayed as long as they can be stored in 3-Byte UTF-8.
https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=21101
https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=20431
e.g. copy/paste from https://getemoji.com/ to see that some of the emojis are displayed in input windows,
but no longer displayed the right way after stored and displayed in output.

Re: Emoticons
So can we get mantis to support emoticons converted to images as a upgrade?
Re: Emoticons
I don't expect that there is any of the core developers that much interested to implement this, but who knows.
You could start a discussion at https://gitter.im/mantisbt for it, maybe there are other community members also interested in it.
I personally don't like this feature. To get a face
See section in releasenoes
when writing something likeis confusing to me.
Nonetheless, submitting a patch is always a good idea, as it increases the chances of improvement eventually making it into MantisBT core. All contributions are welcome and greatly appreciated.
