iOS 5: How to convert an Emoji to a unicode character?
I want to convert an Emoji to a unicode character in iOS 5. For example, converting to \ue415 . I went to NSStringEncoding in NSString Class Reference . In iOS 4, NSUTF16BigEndianStringEncoding and NSUTF32BigEndianStringEncoding gave me <e415> and <0000e415> , respectively, which are quite close to what I want. In iOS 5, the results are different. It gaves <d83dde04> and <0001f604> . How can I get \ue415 for in iOS 5? Thank you. \ue415 is part of the legacy encoding for emoji and is specific to certain Japanese carriers. SoftBank, NTT and docomo all had their own private emoji character sets.
