Emojis

Would we be able to put in emojis into the comments, dhcp name, interface name, etc. It would be fun. :smiley:

No emojis. There is no UNICODE support at all (e.g. UTF-8 or UTF-16). RouterOS, essentially, uses single-byte code pages, specifically CP-1252.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 for your options, mostly latin-based accents/etc. e.g. following add “€×××” as comment to ether1:

/interface/ethernet set [find default-name=ether1] comment="\80\D7\D7\D7"

And with this trick, the extended ASCII even then they only show up in winbox, as via CLI you’ll see just the hexstring code. Basically, only plain us-ascii only thing works everywhere.

Have you tried unicode ?

/interface/ethernet set [find default-name=ether1] comment="\01\F4\80"



/interface/ethernet set [find default-name=ether1] comment="\F0\9F\92\80"

Have tested my self and seeing thats not working :frowning:

You can use emojis in SSID, this is fun to have wifi named just :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

/interface wifi set [find name="wlan1"] configuration.ssid="\F0\9F\A5\B0"
