Hello everyone! is there a way to parse this log with emojis? Could it be shown in kibana or logstash output? I do not have a clue how to parse the emojis in logstash pipeline. ``` "emoji_code":"🌸" ``` Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance! ---

Hi! I want to create index for my log and show all my log fields (created by grok patterns) in kibana and one of my fields is emoji\_code, but I do not know if I can show the emoji as emoji\_code value in kibana or how to do it. ---

Emojis are just strings encoded like this: :emoji\_text: parse it this way, but i'm not sure if kibana will show this in results. They are part of unicode standard after all, so there's a Chance. ---

Thank you. I will try it in Kibana (though I got the result in ruby stdout as an emoji between quotations) ---

If you don’t want emojis, just escape the :’s using replace. In my view emoji’s are not processed by sofware itself, it’s a matter of browser. ---

I'll give it a try in different browsers using your solution. Thanks! ---
