Label support all characters

[ComputerDev]

Hello I would like to know what would be the best approach for a label to support all characters also support outline and set a color for each letters ?

Would RichText be what I'm looking for ? Wouldn't it be too expensive to segment text to create color, put emoticons... Whenever I see an impossibility like an emoticons for a TTF or a new color I create a new RichTextElement to meet the need.

auto rich = ui::RichText::create();
rich->setPosition(Vec2(100, 200));
this->addChild(rich);

auto text = ui::RichElementText::create(0, Color3B::BLUE, 255, "Hello 😂", "fonts/troika.ttf", 20);
rich->insertElement(text, 0);

rich->insertElement(ui::RichElementNewLine::create(1, Color3B::RED, 255), 1);

text = ui::RichElementText::create(2, Color3B::GREEN, 255, "Hello ", "fonts/troika.ttf", 20, ui::RichElementText::UNDERLINE_FLAG | ui::RichElementText::URL_FLAG, "https://www.google.com/");
rich->insertElement(text, 2);

text = ui::RichElementText::create(3, Color3B::GREEN, 255, "😂", "Segoe UI Semibold", 20);
rich->insertElement(text, 3);

text = ui::RichElementText::create(4, Color3B::GREEN, 255, "😚", "Segoe UI Semibold", 20);
rich->insertElement(text, 4);

auto label = Label::createWithTTF("Hello 😂", "fonts/troika.ttf", 20);
label->setPosition(Vec2(100, 100));
this->addChild(label);

@ComputerDev ,
have you found a solution?
Maybe your result is usefull?
Or can it be deleted?

[ComputerDev]

No solution found
For languages I use specific font

[aismann]

Have you check also the cpp-test examples?

[ComputerDev]

I mean label with native emoticons

You're gonna need to use RichText Node to accomplish this and add custom emoticons to that richText node through a texture.
