Using emojis in emails (body not subject)

Hey!

Does anyone know if and how it is possible to embed emojis inside email text with Marketo? We see that whenever we try this, the emails send, but the text cuts off where the first emoji should have been.

Thanks!

Ben

Hey Darrel, thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it discusses adding emoji's to the subject of the email, and we are looking to paste them in the body section.

Please provide the actual HTML you are using (the raw source).

The jive interface keeps removing the emojis when I try to paste them here, but I've attached a screenshot of the html below.

Does this help?

You should be using Unicode HTML entities. I wouldn't even try to use literal glyphs there -- not every browser can even display them.

When I try to use unidoce, the Marketo email editor cuts them out entirely.

Try storing the entity in a Velocity token.

Hi, I'm not so familiar with velocity scripts, any chance you could elaborate on that? I've been trying to wrap my head around velocity tokens today and how I could use them to insert emojis but I can't even get velocity scripts to work.
