We support emoji in messages, however only via the unicode representation. Pasting emoji directly isn't supported and a known bug. In YAML:

name: greeting
states:
    greeting:
        component: meya.random_text
        properties:
            responses:
            - "Hey there! \U0001F604"
            - "Hi! \U0001F604"
            - "Howdy! \U0001F604"
        delay:
            relative: 1
    help:
        component: meya.text
        properties:
            text: How can I help you today?

Ah, thanks Erik!

it looks like this workaround is fine for text and buttons, but not for
buttons in components.
An extra backslash is being added.

In Python code, you can use the native emoji character or specify the string as unicode:

text = u"Hey there! 😀"
text = u"Hey there! \U0001F604"

Ok, I'm seeing odd behavior when I try that.

This works for me. Do you have the utf-8 line at the top?

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from meya import Component


class EmojiComponent(Component):
    def start(self):
        messages = [
            self.create_message(text=u"Hi there! 😀"),
            self.create_message(text=u"Ho there! \U0001F604")
        ]
        return self.respond(messages=messages, action="next")

I didn't have the utf line there, but I added it and I'm still seeing the
strange behavior.

This has been fixed with the Meya Studio release in October, 2016.
