Created attachment 118786 [details] My try to match UTF-8 emojis to KMail smileys SUMMARY In the composer window there is a "Add Smiley" button which only works when the message is being composed as rich-text format. Since UTF-8 is continually expanded with emojis and is supported by every self-respecting platform, my suggestion is to replace those smileys with UTF-8 emojis which would make them available for plaintext mails, too. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Compose a new e-mail 2. Disable rich-text format 3. Click the "Add smiley" button OBSERVED RESULT The button is greyed out and therefore doesn't work. EXPECTED RESULT The button unfolds a menu with a set of emoticons which are inserted as UTF-8 emojis when clicked. The recipient's client can display them without further interpretation (unlike classic smileys). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 4.20.6/5.14.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In the attachment you'll find some UTF-8 equivalents to the smileys in the Smiley menu, the ones I couldn't find are marked with X. The "tofus" are the one which are too new in UTF-8 and can't be displayed even using the Noto Sans font. Last but not least I added some suggestions which I think are used quite often and therefore would fit well.
