What is your goal?
I want the post to automatically replace the ‘�’ character with a Facebook icon.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
Hi everyone,
I’m running a specialized Facebook Page called “Purple Is The Color Of My Life” and I’ve built a scenario to automate my posts. The workflow is: Google Sheets/Apify → HTTP (Download Image) → Google Gemini (Generate Caption) → Facebook Pages (Upload a Photo).
The Issue:
Whenever the scenario runs, the emojis in the caption generated by Gemini (or OpenAI) show up as black question mark symbols � on the Facebook post.
What I’ve tried so far:
Added “Use UTF-8 encoding” and “Use standard emojis” to the AI prompt.
Used the toString() function in the Facebook Page “Message” field.
Re-authorized the Facebook connection.
Tried switching from OpenAI to Gemini 2.5 Flash, but the issue persists.
It seems like an encoding mismatch between the AI module output and the Facebook Pages module input. Has anyone encountered this “diamond question mark” encoding bug before? How can I force Make to pass the emojis correctly as UTF-8?
