I feel I'm missing something. In a number of posts over the last month or two I've noticed the hash symbol followed by a number. As an example:



Can someone please bring me into the 21st century and explain?

I believe, but would like to know that it is the case, that that is what comes out when one of these... is used in a post that the system does not recognise and reflect as such; it then comes out with a code.

Thus if you type in the emoji:





You actually get: #128098;

It reminds me of a narrative about a person going into a village pub only to hear the occasional local shouting out a number and the other locals falling about with laughter ; but that's another story.

This conclusion is the product of past "head scratching" resultant from the same puzzlement.

Nigel is quite correct. The forum does not allow HTML or other codes to be translated into emojis or anything else. Only those emojis or the formatting codes that are contained in the program produce anything other than the code itself. This is done to protect the forum from malicious code being embedded in the text. And before someone replies with "it works on other sites or programs" please remember they have employed teams of programmers and megabits of code to do the same sort of thing, only with slightly more options.
You gets what you pay for, in this case, it was free (and very grateful we are even with a few limitations?)

Well thank you Nigel and Nick for making me ever so slightly more knowledgable. What I'm going to use that knowledge for I've no idea, but at least I no longer have the feeling that others are communicating in code and I'm left out of the party!
