Question
Why am I receiving hexadecimal characters on my inbound messages?
Applies To
- Inbound SMS
- Emojis
Answer
When a message containing emojis (for example, 😀😁😃😉😊😋) is sent to a Vonage Virtual Number, the callback will show these characters in hexadecimal values.
Example
%F0%9F%98%84%F0%9F%98%83%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%8A%F0%9F%98%98
If you need help decoding these characters, there are some useful tools online such as URL Encode Decode.
