Add emoji to the ssid name
Hello guys, newbie here (not technical). I want to add an emoji to my router ssid name but I'm not sure how...Found this forum thread but still not sure how it's done – https://networkengineering.stackexchang ... rs-on-ssid. I'm not sure when and where should I add this command line "/interface wireless set X ssid="\65\78\61\6D\70\6C\65\20\F0\9F\92\BB" and how do I find my x value. Should this command line be added to terminal (not sure even how to open it up). Can somebody give me the exact steps I should take to make this work? Thank you very much

Yes, I saw that but I'm not sure when and where should I add this command line "/interface wireless set X ssid="\65\78\61\6D\70\6C\65\20\F0\9F\92\BB" and how do I find my x value. Should this command line be added to terminal (not sure even how to open it up)?

Oh my gosh that is awesome! 😂Use this tool:
https://r-1.ch/mikrotik-unicode-ssid-generator.php
It is a CLI command, replace the X with the name of your wireless interface. Or if you only have one wireless configured you can just do:Yes, I saw that but I'm not sure when and where should I add this command line "/interface wireless set X ssid="\65\78\61\6D\70\6C\65\20\F0\9F\92\BB" and how do I find my x value. Should this command line be added to terminal (not sure even how to open it up)?
Code: Select all
/interface wireless set [find] ssid="\65\78\61\6D\70\6C\65\20\F0\9F\92\BB"The "[find]" will make it affect all wireless interfaces, which is handy if you only have one wireless interface but don't want to bother with what its name is.
Simply paste it into the terminal/console.

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
With the suggestions here I've made the script a bit more user friendly.
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Cool, but it does mean that it won't return an error if no interface is named that.With the suggestions here I've made the script a bit more user friendly.
But I guess the user will just know that the SSID didn't change, so it likely is better in the end.
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Thanks, for some time I was looking for this I could not find the result in mikrotik!
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Why emoji ssid don't work anymore ? Is working only on older ROS ?
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
And you tried with what version?
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
well...with latest ones. now with 6.47
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
I am in the dark what does this capability provide??
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Cool SSID showing up on your pc/phone.
Like this ssid:
Like this ssid:
I am happy
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
just tested with 6.47.1 and all fine

Works fine on 6.46.6 too.

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Didnt work at all.
For example the generator gave me this
/interface wireless set [find name="wlan1"] ssid="\55\2B\31\46\45\38\2C\55\2B\31\46\45\39"
I replace the name with the correct name, and all that shows up in the SSID name is the emoji code that was translated into the above.
Fricken useless. Thanks for the joke LOL

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
The client (OS/driver/etc) also has to know how to translate that SSID into an emoji.
Windows 7 doesn't know how to do that for example. Windows 10 does.
No joke. Just.. not for production. Not all clients will show what you intended to be seen

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
You must change it via terminal, you cannot do it in winbox wireless settings.Didnt work at all.
Which client you used to see the emoji ssid?
Note: U+1FE8, U+1FE9 are not emoji characters...

I use the windows terminal in winbox.You must change it via terminal, you cannot do it in winbox wireless settings.Didnt work at all.

I got those character codes from the emoji list from a link in this thread, I used the SSID translator to turn this into /34/45/56 type code, I put that code into windows terminal as instructed and the result was crap at least on my iphone. THe SSID showing was the U+1FE8 for example,
THe only thing I can think of is perhaps one cannot use two emoji characters? OR the fact that I insered a comma between the two and thats what screwed it up. If so what is the proper way of inserting two emojis or an emoji plus text (no comma?)?
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Just write it down normally into the generator, no comma necessary. Try my examples for a test.
You can use few emojis within one ssid (up to 32 bytes, one emoji is up to 4 bytes).
U+1FE8 (Ῠ) is not emoji, that's why it is not translated by Android/iOS/Windows10 into emoji picture.

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Well then its not clear to me what I put into the SSID generator linked above using the EMOJI list above.
Do we not use the codes provided.........??

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
I find the easiest to use the posted link inside a mobile device - I used android tablet - which features virtusl keyboard with possibility to select emojis ... so one enters text (including emojis) in a WYSIWYG manner.
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Example how to use:
1) Paste this input with emoji into generator https://r-1.ch/mikrotik-unicode-ssid-generator.php:
I❤MikroTik
2) You will get this output:
3) Paste this code into terminal in winbox (edit interface name if needed).
4) You will see it on your mobile phone:
1) Paste this input with emoji into generator https://r-1.ch/mikrotik-unicode-ssid-generator.php:
I❤MikroTik
2) You will get this output:
Code: Select all
/interface wireless set [find name="wlan1"] ssid="\49\E2\9D\A4\4D\69\6B\72\6F\54\69\6B"4) You will see it on your mobile phone:

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Hey. If I put your "I❤MikroTik" it works. But if I generate my own code (put U+1F603 to generator) then there is only U+1F603 in SSID. Do I have put something else to generator ? ThanksExample how to use:
1) Paste this input with emoji into generator https://r-1.ch/mikrotik-unicode-ssid-generator.php:
I❤MikroTik
2) You will get this output:3) Paste this code into terminal in winbox (edit interface name if needed).Code: Select all/interface wireless set [find name="wlan1"] ssid="\49\E2\9D\A4\4D\69\6B\72\6F\54\69\6B"
4) You will see it on your mobile phone:
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Ok. I figured out You don't copy/paste code (U+1F637) to the generator BUT emoji itself (picture) 
. Just select emoji at Browser column and copy/paste to generator. It's also written at the bottom "copy from the 'Browser' column"
Thank you all for help.

Very nice. Has anyone managed to do this in Capsman?

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
The same way as you se ordinary SSID ... you just have to enter the special crafted SSID which is then shown as SSID with emoji by clients.I tried, but unfortunately I failed. Maybe you can tell me how to do it?

OK - but what interface name should I enter instead of "wlan1" because my Cap's name is different?
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Provisioning particular radios using capsman works by selecting radio's MAC address. But this is not specific to SSID with emojis, it's a general capsman feature and you should open a new topic with appropriate title. Or search for existing threads which explain how to provision specific setup for select cap radios.

I managed to do it like this:
/caps-man configuration set name=nameX ssid="\49\E2\9D\A4\4D\69\6B\72\6F\54\69\6B"
Regards
/caps-man configuration set name=nameX ssid="\49\E2\9D\A4\4D\69\6B\72\6F\54\69\6B"

Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
Neat! Just tested it and it works on CapsMan on 7.7, however only thu cli.
Re: Add emoji to the ssid name
FWIW, emojis are part of Unicode, but this trick works for any non-ASCII characters like Chinese or the "extra" Latvian letters.
It's CLI only since only scripting since allows escaping numeric ASCII char codes, so trick to get UTF-8-encoded unicode (incl. emojis). But since it's just a series of bytes to 802.11 and Mikrotik, it really is up to the client figure out it's UTF-8 (which most do).
I created a "Mikrotik Unicode" decoder, so you can reverse the process to take something like "\49\E2\9D\A4\4D\69\6B\72\6F\54\69\6B" to see the resulting Unicode string in your browser:
