    <p>Sorry this may sound like madness. So the main issue is that if my data from the web service is json_encoded then most emojis show up as squares in the app. Not all but most. I am trying to fix this on the web service side.</p> <p>I found that if I do not use json_encode, the instead do something like:</p> <pre><code>$array .= '{"text":"emoji"} echo = '[' . $array . ']'; </code></pre> <p>Basically echoing it as if its json encoded. The emojis show up correctly in the app, but other things doing work properly because its not encoded. So what I figured out using mb_detect_encoding is that the text that has an emoji is UTF-8 and ones that don't have emoji are ASCII. So what I did is check that I can check and see if its not UTF-8 and if its not just json_encode the string. And if it is UTF-8 and do nothing to it. That works for 95% of all the data that is returned. Something like below.</p> <pre><code>$encode = mb_detect_encoding($theMemo); if($encode != 'UTF-8'){ $theMemo = json_encode($theMemo); } $array .= '{"text":"' . $theMemo . '"} echo = '[' . $array . ']'; </code></pre> <p>The issue I am having is there are time such as when the text is something like "Floyd Mayweatherâ€@FloydMayweather #TheMoneyTeam" which has some unicode in it, but its not the emojis so I need to json_encode it for it to show up right.</p> <p>Basicly I need to find a way to either json_encode anything that does not have a emoji in it or find a more proper way of going about this. I know what I am doing may seem odd, but I am just trying to find a solution, even if it seems like a hack.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
