But if i post an activity containing a link + a smiley + an emoji, i get an error

imath - I cannot duplicate this on Firefox and Chrome on desktop.

I also tried your test site with Firefox on Android and it worked:

Perhaps the problem is with the emoji you are using? What browser are you using and on what device?

it fails on iPhone 6 Safari iOS

I think it has to do with the emoji you are using, imath.

In your screenshot, you are using the "Thinker Face" emoji, which is Unicode-8:

I just tried copying and pasting this emoji into the activity stream and also got the error message on desktop.

According to the Docblock, wp_encode_emoji() only works for Unicode-7 emojis.

There is a ticket in core that might address this - ​#WP35293. (Also see ​#WP33592.)

In the meantime, for our release notes for v2.5, we might want to list something about only supporting Unicode-7 emojis.

Thanks a lot r-a-y. Let's do this.
