Lucee 6.2 reEscape() CF parity

dev support
1

I’ve run into an issue with ReEscape() in Lucee where the output does not match Adobe ColdFusion’s behavior, particularly when the input contains Emoji or other non-BMP Unicode characters. See attached examples.

I have a workaround in place using a custom UDF so it’s not a show stopping bug, but left me scratching my head for a little while.

Thanks!

Expected output:
