# Unicode Emojis

Minecraft's font is not capable of showing emojis in the chat. Hence, by default, emojis are translated to their alias form, e.g. 😎 becomes `:sunglasses:`.

If however, you know that your players' clients support Unicode emojis in their font, you can turn off this translation for everyone.

	"useUnicodeEmojis": false,
