Cant Publish Islands because of Emojis

Summary

Hello.
We cant publish a new update because every time we try the system marks an emoji that we have to delete.

1.7 Respect IP Ownership - The content you create, publish, or use cannot infringe or violate someone else’s rights, including their intellectual property rights (such as copyright or trademark). You must own or have obtained the necessary rights to share and publish the content, and any such license must be broad enough to grant Epic a license consistent with the Fortnite EULA and the UEFN Supplemental Terms.

Emojis like:

Once we remove them, we get other emojis that we have to remove, do we have to remove all emojis of the whole game now??

Hey Marius1773! How are you?

Keeping in mind the section “1.7 Respect IP Ownership” section of the Fortnite Creator Rules, it would be helpful to know if the emojis you are using were designed by you or you are using emojis that were designed by a different person.

If you are using your own emojis, you shouldn’t have any problem to publish your Island. But if you don’t have the rights to use the emojis, you will need to delete or replace every one of them to be able to publish.

Hope it helps!

HUH???

How are emojis copyrighted? This is just absurd. Are you sure this is the case?? keep in mind the title does NOT take custom assets but only simple text + unicode characters like U+2705

Hello Mineblo!

Thanks for your input! As you said, unicode characters are not copyrighted and should not generate any problem. That’s the reason I’m trying to understand if Marius1773 is using text/unicode or custom assets.

I don’t want to assume they are using something, without checking with them first.

Hi.
Like stated above in my entry post, we used following emojis which can be used by anyone.

No copyrighted emojis were used.
