How to get NSString size when NSString includes emojis?

Question

I am currently using

- (CGSize)sizeWithFont:(UIFont *)font constrainedToSize:(CGSize)size lineBreakMode:(UILineBreakMode)lineBreakMode

to

Answer 1

The NSString is not presenting the emoji, it's representing a string, so the sizeWithFont will only account for the string.

I would use:

CGRect labelFrame = label.frame;  
labelFrame.size = [label sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(100, 9999)];  
[label setFrame:labelFrame]; 

or

//Alternatively  
[label sizeToFit];

Bare in mind that sizeToFit calls the sizeThatFits: method, so in terms of just setting the label to the right height, sizeThatFits: is quicker, and much easier on the eye.
