Hi fellow Saplings,

I'm wondering if we can use Emoji as the "header" for custom URL schemes in iOS apps.

For instance : " U+1F4A9://"

I’d expect any URL scheme that conforms to the standard (see Section 3.1 of RFC 3986) to work. However, there’s no code in the OS that will interpret

U+xxxx

notation as Unicode in URL schemes, so you’re just going to end up with a weird looking scheme.

Share and Enjoy
