    Hello.

    I’m writing a blog on my smartphone and I use emoji at that time.

    The emoji is garbled when posted to Google My Business. Is there any way to improve it?

    Hi @bitalabo,

    Can you post a screenshot or link to a GMB post with the garbled emoji?

    Does it happen when using the auto-post feature, or when you manually create a GMB post through the Post to GMB metabox?

    I’ve tested both from my phone and for me they seem to go through just fine: https://i.imgur.com/LUT0wov.png

    Maybe not all of the emoji are supported on Google’s end, I’m not sure!

    When I checked it again, it was because it was automatically posted to GMB using [%post_title%].
    When I used [%post_content%], the characters were not garbled.

    Thank you.

    Strange, not sure why the %post_title% variable would be handled any differently than the %post_content% variable.

    Glad you found a solution!

    Thank you for the other day.

    I took an image with garbled characters, so if you can understand the cause, it would be helpful if you could tell me.

    Thanks for the screenshots, looks like like they are converted to HTML entities for some reason.

    I’m not able to reproduce it on my end, if I put emoji in the post title they go through to GMB just fine. Could be another plugin or your theme that causes a conflict.
