在Logcat日志中使用表情符号可以吗？

Question

I am using emojis in log cat messages in order to make the logs easier on the eye. So far it works fine, but I wonder if I'll hit any character compatibility issues on older Android devices. My app's minimumSdkVersion is 16.

Examples:

companion object {
    private const val TAG = "\uD83D\uDD36SomeClass"
}

...    

Log.d(TAG, "⏰ Something happened!")

Is there anything I should be worried about? Are there any reasons against doing this?

Answer 1

Not sure about your emojis in Logcat but I think that if you want to make your life easier use the TAG that inside your Log.d .

For example, here is a log with a custom TAG:

   Log.d("myTag","something to show");

After you run your app all you need to do is to search the same tag name within your logcat, like this:

Another thing that you should think about that if you want to search for a specific log would it be comfortable to search the logcat using emojis?

In my opinion, simply searching your tag name to find your log makes thing super easy.
