Answer 1

Swift 3.0 Extension solution:
You need to encode and decode emoji's on iOS side when sending it to server. You can do it as below.
extension String {
func encodeChatString() -> String? {
if let encodedTextData = self.data(using: .nonLossyASCII) {
return String(data: encodedTextData, encoding: .utf8)
}
return nil
}
func decodeChatString() -> String? {
let trimmedString = self.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
if let stringData = trimmedString.data(using: .utf8) {
let messageString = String(data: stringData, encoding: .nonLossyASCII)
return messageString
}
return nil
}
}
When you send message encode string like below:
message.encodeChatString()
When you receive message decode string like below:
message.decodeChatString()

When send a data to server use this method .
let data1 = txtMessage.text.dataUsingEncoding(NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding)!
let finalmessage = String(data: data1, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
when you get a response from server before set in label use this method.
let trimmedString = YOURSERVER_RESPONSE_STRING.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(
NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet())
let data2 = trimmedString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
let messagestring = String(data: data2, encoding: NSNonLossyASCIIStringEncoding)
YOURLABEL.text = messagestring as String
Try this your problem solve.
