Hello Episodians!
If you’ve placed your
EMOJI!
Emoji can now be added to your readerMessages, speech bubbles, thought bubbles, narrator boxes, comments, Input boxes, and choices!
You can choose an emoji from our handy Emoji Widget in the library panel, or have them autocomplete by beginning with a “:”.
Emoji will appear in the Writer’s Portal previewer as black and white outlines, but will appear in full color in the app everywhere but choice boxes.
A note on this feature: you may see unexpected issues within the Writer Portal (slower search functions or emoji appearing improperly in the Previewer) on older or less powerful devices, however, emoji will appear as expected when reading your story on the app.
We hope you enjoy adding these to your stories! As always, if you have any issues with the Writer’s Portal or this new addition, please send us a support ticket , this helps our team make fixes!
With Love,

But choice boxes got them in community stories!
Not like I really care anyways… Can we get characters with accents and support for other scripts? I’m scared for how cringe-y all of the emoji usage will be

I’m internally cringing at thinking of all the new/first-time stories that’ll overuse the hell outta this…

It’s not a bad idea; however, I would have preferred letters with accents or even different colored speech bubbles before this.

i personally think we should have gotten the ability to use accents and non-latin characters rather than emojis…

And this one
I wish we were able to use non-English characters/words and/or accents for an update
