https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets and Videos of the WeekBlog - Ben Nadel - Printing Emoji Characters From Unicode CodePoints Using HTML Entities In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47Earlier today, I mentioned that I wanted to make it easier for people to use emoji characters within my blog comments. As part of that facilitation, I need to add emoji glyphs to a textarea, which I can do using String.fromCodePoint() in JavaScript. But, in order to render the list of emojis from which people can choose, I need to be able to render emojis using Lucee CFML. A while back, I looked at converting Unicode codepoints to actual String instances using Java and Lucee CFML; but, since this context is going to be an HTML webpage, things get even easier - I can print emoji characters from Unicode codepoints using HTML entities.

https://github.com/JamoCA/cf-emoji-javaBlog - Wil de Bruin - Use THIS in QuickOk, this may sound like a somewhat cryptic title. We are talking about the importance of this, and now I mean the this keyword. To be honest I never worried too much about the this keyword. I know it is a component scope and when you refer to this inside your component, you refer to the public scope, so everything from this component which is visible to the outside world.
But now I had some issues (explanation will follow). I was surprised to see how hard it was to find a decent explanation of the this component scope. Not easy to google, because ‘this’ shows up in a lot of web pages…
