Can we save emojis to backendless as string or text?

If so, how would we do this using the API or the iOS SDK? Do you have any docs or blog posts about this?

we are coding in swift

Emoji characters can be saved in columns with type “EXTENDED STRING”

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly with that!

The problem with “EXTENDED STRING” is that it has a character limit of 500. Is there any way we can save it as TEXT?

Are there any other differences between STRING and EXTENDED STRING?

Also, I know you were going to release a feature for text with multiple lines, have you released that?

The differences between STRING and EXTENDED STRING is the latter supports character encoding which allows emoji’s.

Multi-line editing of text in console is already supported:

Perfect. I don’t know how I missed that. Sorry.

Is there anyway to keep the 2,000 character limit and still have emojis?

Unfortunately not in the current version.
