I'm trying to type emoji using my regular physical keyboard by mapping them with autohotkey. How to get the utf-8 (or utf-16??) character(s) sent when showing, for example, this on screen.

My current ahk code is (mapped it randomly to !+j which is alt+j):

!j::
Send, {U+1F601}
return

However, this outputs  (yes, a rectangle). I don't really understand how those encodings work and any help is appreciated.

  • You have to use surrogate pairs. There is no point duplicating a post as an exact duplicate already exists. Please read this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/36568246/4082723 – 2501 Nov 13 '16 at 18:55
