how to send emoji emoticons via Telegram API?

In the official documentation not a word about emoticons. Somewhere they write that you need to send UTF-8 emoticon code. … but it’s all useless

U + 1F601
U1F601
# 1F601;
& amp; # 1F601;
\ xF0 \ x9F \ x98 \ x81

Take a look at Emoji Unicode Tables .
The emoticon code you need is in the Bytes (UTF-8) column.

URL Encode must be performed before sending to server.

For example, \ xF0 \ x9F \ x98 \ x81 should look like this: % F0% 9F% 98% 81 .

I just copied the emoji from tables above with normal mouse selection (how the text is highlighted) from the column “Native” it turns out like this: 😜

On bash I use this resource to get the code

The line “C / C++ / Java source code” displays the required encoding.
The request takes the form

/ usr / local / bin / curl -s --header 'Content-Type: application / json' --request ' POST '--data "{\" chat_id \ ": \" - 432111111 \ ", \" text \ ": \" \ uD83D \ uDC4C - Here is OK emoji \ "}" "https: //api.telegram. org / bot & lt; TOKEN & gt; / sendMessage "

where \ uD83D \ uDE31 is the encoded character 👌

I am writing a bot in C #, it works like this "\ U0001F69A" for the code U + 1F69A from the table.

Answer 5

For PHP where the smiley is:

hex2bin ('f09f9880') & lt; br & gt;
f09f9880

– emoticon code without \ x from here (column Bytes (UTF-8) )

Answer 6

Use tools to represent Unicode text in your environment. It will perform the conversion from text to octets according to the utf-8 encoding itself, and then perform percent -encoding . For example, to send a flag 🇷🇺, which consists of Unicode characters U + 1f1f7 , U + 1f1fa in restclient in Emacs :

POST https://api.telegram.org/bot:token/sendMessage
Content-type: application / x-www-form-urlencoded
chat_id =: chat-id & amp; text = hooray 🇷🇺!

This makes an http POST request to the specified url (bot identified by : token sends a message hurray 🇷🇺! to : chat-id chat ).

In Python, this might look like this:

import requests
requests.post (f'https: //api.telegram.org/bot {token} / sendMessage ',
       dict (chat_id = chat_id, text = 'hurray 🇷🇺!'))

It can be seen that there is no need to manually encode the string into the ascii representation:

'\ u0443 \ u0440 \ u0430 \ U0001f1f7 \ U0001f1fa!'

Python will automatically encode the message. Goes to the server (encrypted using TLS), something like:

POST / bot & lt; token & gt; / sendMessage HTTP / 1.1
Host: api.telegram.org
User-Agent: python-requests / 2.18.4
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: * / *
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 69
Content-Type: application / x-www-form-urlencoded
chat_id = & lt; chat-id & gt; & amp; text =% D1% 83% D1% 80% D0% B0 +% F0% 9F% 87% B7% F0% 9F% 87% BA% 21
