I'm getting the following error when calling: new HtmlContentProvider(html).GetContent()

html string was created with HtmlContentProvider.Escape("string with emojis")

The emoji character is available here: http://emojipedia.org/money-bag/

System.Xml.XmlException: '?', hexadecimal value 0xD83D, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 43.

Hi Erel,

Can you please put together a new simple sample project that shows this happening so we can debug with it and ensure that anything we change fixes the problem?  Please email it to our support address and rename the .zip file extension so it doesn't get spam blocked.  Thanks!

This line is enough to reproduce it:

 

new HtmlContentProvider(HtmlContentProvider.Escape("\U0001F4B0")).GetContent();

Hi Erel,

Thanks, we could reproduce it.  To work around it, we had to add a CheckCharacters = false setting to the XmlReader settings.  Apparently Microsoft validates that characters fit within a certain range for XML by default.
