      Summary

      Using Emoji on a Confluence Page prevents Inline Commenting

      Environment

      • Confluence 1000.95 (Cloud)
      • Confluence 5.8.5 (Server)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Page in Confluence which includes a Unicode-6 Emoji Character (📷 🏈)
      2. Attempt to Inline Comment

      Expected Results

      A comment is added inline to the Page

      Actual Results

      When attempting to save the Inline Comment, an error appears indicating "Unable to Save The Comment"

      Confluence logs show:

      2016-05-18 22:43:05,223 ERROR [http-bio-1996-exec-49] [common.error.jersey.ThrowableExceptionMapper] toResponse Uncaught exception thrown by REST service: [com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxLazyException] Illegal character entity: expansion character (code 0xd83c) not a valid XML character

      Notes

      Seems to only be affected by Unicode-6 Emoji
      Using ⚽️ (not listed in the link above) seems to work

      Workaround

      Remove Emoji Characters from Page
