Unicode converting from UTF-16 to UTF-32 then failing on JSON.parse

We’re storing an object via hset that contains the following unicode character (an emoji) \ud83e\udef6. When we retrieve the value via hgetall we get \U0001faf6 back which is the UTF-32 encoding of the original character. This causes the deserializer to fail.

Is there a reason that these characters are getting converted from different encoding types? And what would be the recommended work around here?

Error we receive back from hgetall:

FetchError: invalid json response body at [URL] reason: Unexpected token U in JSON at position 330

We then fetch the response using /hgetall/ REST API to inspect it - (res.text()) and it’s telling us the unicode character was transformed to UTF-32

Hey! Sorry for not replying - we ended up solving this by with encodeURI.

Setting - encodeURI(JSON.stringify(VALUE_TO_STORE_IN_REDIS)) Getting -JSON.parse(decodeURI(VALUE_RETREIVED_FROM_REDIS) - this returns the original unicode characters

Thanks for looking into this!

Thanks, I will try to debug this asap, but I can’t promise you anything until the end of next week.
