Custom emoji

Telegram supports custom (premium) emoji in buttons and messages. To use them, the bot must have a paid username (Fragment) or the bot owner must have an active Telegram Premium subscription.

How to get an emoji ID

1. Send the desired custom emoji to @getidsbot or @RawDataBot.
2. The bot will reply with message details including the custom_emoji_id field.

Syntax

Two formats are supported directly in .ftl key values.

Full format

btn-example = <tg-emoji emoji-id="5406756500108501710">🎁</tg-emoji> Button text

Short format

btn-example = <e id="5406756500108501710">🎁</e> Button text

The fallback text inside the tag (a plain emoji) is shown on clients that don't support custom emoji. It is recommended to always provide it.
