Anyway to convert unicode emoticons => Kindle format in some flavor via Calibre?

arooni · 08-16-2023, 08:11 PM

I have tried to convert a document I wrote and read over every morning via Calibre to KFX from an epub source. The documents has unicode characters like: 😱 🧘 ⛪️ 💰 etc.

However on my Kindle Scribe, I see only blank rectangles. Anyway to make this work? Or do I have to give up on these shennigans. :P

You will need to embed a font file that contains those icons
