.setAuthor supporting Emojis

[breezefps]

Hi guys my name is Breeze, I'm a profissional Streamer and I just got my server Verified on Discord!
I'm creating my community on Discord and starting to learn discord.js too :)

I wanted to know if it would be possible to add Emojis in the .setAuthor of a Embed. This would be so fun!

Here are some photos of the emojis not working in the API ;-;

I love the Discord Community!

Best regards, @breezefps :)

Just to clarify, you want the name field on the embed author structure to support custom emojis such that the Discord client renders them correctly?

Because you phrased your request as if it was about specifically the discord.js .setAuthor method not supporting emojis rather than the Discord client, I also want to point out that this repository is for discussion relating to the actual Discord API, not third-party libraries such as discord.js.

That's not a discord.js problem, I talked with them in their Discord Server.

I know it's not a discord.js problem, which was why I was pointing out that you shouldn't ask for the discord.js setAuthor method to accept emojis but instead for the Discord API to support emojis in author names.

You can't use custom emojis in the name of an embed author, but you can in a title.

{
  "embeds": [
    {
      "title": "<:craig_cat:603083214281506817>"
    }
  ]
}

In a title u can use emojis but will not be the same because It will not have the server icon before it, a thing that just .setAuthor has ;-;
