What's the advantage for Admidio and the User if we use this?

Security and the possibility to use more special characters.

We should discuss this. In my opinion there is no real benefit to explain a higher version requirement.

I don't want to discard this issue. It's a good issue and we should implement this. But not in milestone 4.0.

in times of thousands of emojis we should implement this feature sooner rather than later
