I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with High Sierra (10.13.4) and now I'm not able to view any emoji in the mac terminal. The terminal default settings uses UTF-8 text encoding.
I tried enabling the autoactivation but no success "atsutil autoactivation -e" but no success.
I have a MacBook Pro 15" with Sierra and the emojis in the terminal show up correctly, no idea what the issue or error might be
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
Actually, my bad, the error is not terminal itself, its the "screen" command I was using which had a locale=c.
That pesky 'C' locale strikes again... 😉
Hello SwimButterfly,
What type of Terminal do you have? Mine is set to xterm-256.
What do you have for your environment?
$ env;print "\U0001F1E8\U0001F1E6"
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=388.1.2
Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.S876zhDI8t/Render
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
TERM=xterm-256color
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F6:0x0:0x52
CLICOLOR=1
🇨-1F1E6;
in El Capitan 10.11.6 and High Sierra 10.13.4, the following works.
printf '\xF0\x9F\x98\x80\n'
😀
because the Grinning face UTF-8 hex for F0 9F 98 80.
You can see these UTF-8 codes in the Emoji category of the Emojis and Symbols character panel (control+command+Space).
