In the side panel as shown below the emojis are showing up as � [?].
when you open the chat, the emoji shows up correctly in the main chat message.
We are using MS bot framework to send the message as an activity from the bot.
Snippet for creating the activity card below.
private static Activity GetActivity(string content, List<Mention> mentions)
{
var messageText = BotEntityUtils.GetAiActivity(content);
messageText.TeamsNotifyUser();
messageText.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new
{
feedbackLoop = new
{
type = "default"
}
});
messageText.TextFormat = TextFormatTypes.Xml;
messageText.Entities = new List<Entity>(mentions);
return messageText;
}
How can we resolve this?
Is it a bug from MS teams?
Thanks

Hi Suhas Subramanya - Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Could you please let us know if our understanding of the issue is correct or not? You are sending message having emoji using Teams bot in any Teams meeting and those emojis are not rendering correctly. Is that the case?
Or the emojis sent by bot is not showing correctly in activity feed?

hi @Nivedipa-MSFT . Thanks for getting back.
here is a more clear screenshot.
The 📅 is not showing up correctly in the chat/activity on the left panel.
We are rendering the bot activity message as HTML/XML
messageText.TextFormat = TextFormatTypes.Xml;
i have tried various forms of the calendar emojis and all of them render as "�" on the left panel.
We are checking this internally, we will update you soon.
We managed to find a workaround,
removing 1 or 2 new line before the emoji fixes the issue.
i think each Emoji is made up of 2 blocks internally, preview panel is getting only 1st half of the emoji before cutoff. Not sure if encoding issue on c# side or on teams itself.
