Supabase multiplayer dropped native emoji reaction support, but only if you're running 2.0.0 or later.
The multiplayer.dev team shipped emoji reactions using binary payload encoding [1], a move that trades implementation complexity for cleaner real-time sync. The feature gates behind version 2.0.0, meaning older clients won't surface the emoji picker. If you're running multiplayer features in production, this is worth testing in your next staging push. The binary payload approach keeps reaction data lean across the wire, which matters at scale.
