Upload activity with name that contains utf8 characters like an emoji

[cmenschel]

I am trying to upload an activity via the API with a custom name that contains special utf8 characters like an emoji. It seems that this is blocked by the API. Once I try that the whole activity won't be processed - but I don't get an API error back.

or is something wrong on my side? I am using a standard multipart/form-data upload in Swift

I know I can update an activity (detailed) title with UTF8 and have done so using my Strava API connection

Hey cmenschel, thanks for your post. UTF8 characters are supported. You can test this out on the Swagger Playground by passing the emoji as the title, and see how you can make the request.

Here is more info on how to use the Swagger Playground.
