Emoji prevents Viber messages

[Karim Ratib]

I followed the tutorial https://claudiajs.com/tutorials/viber-chatbot.html and it's working well. However, when the bot receives a string containing an emoji, such as 😀 , the reply never reaches Viber. I have checked that request.text (in bot.js) does contain the correct string, so it seems the reply gets lost inside the bot builder code itself. Also, I did verify that sending 😀 directly to the Viber API does result in a message.
