Is there anyway of preventing emojis from being input into a text field, e.g. turning them off on the keyboard. I have tried a input formatter and regex but not all of them are filtered out.
This is my current implementation.
BlacklistingTextInputFormatter(
RegExp(
r'(?:[\u2700-\u27bf]|(?:\ud83c[\udde6-\uddff]){2}|[\ud800-\udbff][\udc00-\udfff]|[\u0023-\u0039]\ufe0f?\u20e3|\u3299|\u3297|\u303d|\u3030|\u24c2|\ud83c[\udd70-\udd71]|\ud83c[\udd7e-\udd7f]|\ud83c\udd8e|\ud83c[\udd91-\udd9a]|\ud83c[\udde6-\uddff]|\ud83c[\ude01-\ude02]|\ud83c\ude1a|\ud83c\ude2f|\ud83c[\ude32-\ude3a]|\ud83c[\ude50-\ude51]|\u203c|\u2049|[\u25aa-\u25ab]|\u25b6|\u25c0|[\u25fb-\u25fe]|\u00a9|\u00ae|\u2122|\u2139|\ud83c\udc04|[\u2600-\u26FF]|\u2b05|\u2b06|\u2b07|\u2b1b|\u2b1c|\u2b50|\u2b55|\u231a|\u231b|\u2328|\u23cf|[\u23e9-\u23f3]|[\u23f8-\u23fa]|\ud83c\udccf|\u2934|\u2935|[\u2190-\u21ff])'
),
);
Using a regex where new emojis get added seems to be a bad solution aswell.
It would help if a version could also be implemented in node aswell for backend validation.
Thanks alot :)
--- Update
So I also use a max input on my flutter input which appends a character count on the bottom right hand side e.g. 0/15
Using the regex and typing emojis blocks the input but the character count still goes up.
Also without the regex the count goes up by 2 for each symbol and with the regex it increments only by 1.
-- update again
Turns out the empty string actually contains content when certain emojis are pressed e.g. ️.
The code unit field on the string object has [65039, 65039, 65039, 65039, 65039, 65039] as a value. This seems to be this https://unicode-table.com/en/FE0F/
Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this?
