To the channel we have to send the value : \ud83d\udc4d for the emoji "thumbs up”
When we make the channel call
twurl -H ads-api.twitter.com -A “Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8” “/1/accounts/18ce53uo3nm/targeting_criteria” -X POST -d “line_item_id=5qk6h&targeting_type=PHRASE_KEYWORD&targeting_value=\ud83d\udc4d” | python -mjson.tool
It wrongly interprets the value as : \ud83d\udc4d
reponse:

}
I have tried variations : /\ud83d/\udc4d
and \ud83d\udc4d
but it always interprets it wrongly as \ud83d\udc4d.
I googled and found a batch call solution :
twurl -H ads-api.twitter.com -X PUT -A “Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8” “/1/accounts/18ce53uo3nm/targeting_criteria?line_item_id=5qk6h” -d ‘[{“operation_type”: “Update”, “params”: {“line_item_id”: “5qk6h”, “targeting_type”: “BROAD_KEYWORD”, “targeting_value”: “\ud83d\udc4d”}}]’ | python -mjson.tool
But I want the non batched call to work. Is this a bug on the Twitter side or in my call. Please let me know.
