Can our #VFXPipeline work with #unicode? I've tried to find out and created a shot containing the heart emoji ❤️ in our #ftrack database. Will that name be preserved all the way to a Nuke render that is in turn published back to ftrack?
Everything looks good on our fileserver (Linux/nfs). The emoji also works in custom PySide GUIs (where it's monochrome) and Nuke handles it perfectly in its GUI and as a file name.
The first road-block is encountered in one of our scripts. I simply had a regex in there that allowed alphanumeric characters for shot names only (to weed out spaces, umlauts etc that I thought would never occur in actual shot names).
