Emojis in telegram alerts

Help
1

Hi, It is possible to include emojis in the text of the telegram alerts?

2

I guess… You could edit the alert templates. In the web ui under alerts - > Templates

3

But what kind of coding should I use to be seen on Telegram. Because I have tried several and it does not work.

4

what happens when you put in the text :zap: (for :zap:)

does it come out literal?

5

Yes, it appears literal. You can not see the emoji.

Hi! jozefrebjak i tried, and it works, with some emojis, but it works!!! thanks!.

I have researched a little to find why doesnt work with unicodes, in module Telegram.php is a function urlencode, this function transforms the code to url format, so the emoji code like \xF0\x9F\x98\xAD will be %5CxF0%5Cx9F%5Cx98%5CxAD.

I tried to modify the Telegram.php code and replace %5C with \, with no result.
I tried the resulting url to put in the web browser, and i see this:

date":1545041817,“text”:"\\xF0\\x9F\\x98\\xAB"}}

Telegram bot adds and extra backslash…
