You see, if you type "=)“ on the forums, it comes out as

But if you type ”=P" on the forums, it looks normal.
Why is this?

Can you please elaborate?

What?

EDIT: How on Earth do you get ninja'd on something so small…?

It got messed up, sorry

It's probably an overlooked design flaw – maybe this could be moved to Bugs and Glitches to inform the Scratch Team and the Scratch developers.

Well-
“”
“”
“”
Basically, any emoji starting with a colon will receive the emoji form of it.



But- wait, it works with the equal-sign variant as well- or at least in theory.
“”
“=P”
“”
But for some reason, using =P does not work. So this should be moved to the Bugs and Glitches forum by chance.
*Quote the message to see I used colons and equal signs because if it has been automatically converted

works because it was added to look like the smiley emoji, but =P wasn't added purposely for some reason.

The DjangoBB forgot to implement “=P”, like they forgot to update their service for the past four years.

yeah, : o comes out as and :O doesn't

Even though that emoticon isn't as popular as the regular, Scratch still supports “”.

when green flag clicked
forever
switch costume to ["=)" v]
end

=P



The equals sign only works for the regular. You have to use colon for the other.
